Chemical tongues as multipurpose bioanalytical tools for the characterization of complex biological samples.
Review in Biophysics and physicobiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Chemical tongues are emerging powerful bioanalytical tools that mimic the mechanism of the human taste system to recognize the comprehensive characteristics of complex biological samples. By using an array of chromogenic or fluorogenic probes that interact non-specifically with various components in the samples, this tool generates unique colorimetric or fluorescence patterns that reflect the biological composition of a sample. These patterns are then analyzed using multivariate analysis or machine learning to distinguish and classify the samples. This review focuses on our efforts to provide an overview of the fundamental principles of chemical tongues, probe design, and their applications as versatile tools for analyzing proteins, cells, and bacteria in biological samples. Compared to conventional methods that rely on specific targeting (e.g., antibodies or enzymes) or comprehensive omics analyses, chemical tongues offer advantages in terms of cost and the ability to analyze samples without the need for specific biomarkers. The complementary use of chemical tongues and conventional methods is expected to enable a more detailed understanding of biological samples and lead to the elucidation of new biological phenomena.
