1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The rapid development of wearable sweat sensors has demonstrated their potential for continuous, non-invasive disease diagnosis and health monitoring. Emerging energy harvesters capable of converting various environmental energy sources-biomechanical, thermal, biochemical, and solar-into electrical energy are revolutionizing power solutions for wearable devices. Based on self-powered technology, the integration of the energy harvesters with wearable sweat sensors can drive the device for biosensing, signal processing, and data transmission. As a result, self-powered sweat sensors are able to operate continuously without external power or charging, greatly facilitating the development of wearable electronics and personalized healthcare. This review focuses on the recent advances in self-powered sweat sensors for personalized healthcare, covering sweat sensors, energy harvesters, energy management, and applications. The review begins with the foundations of wearable sweat sensors, providing an overview of their detection methods, materials, and wearable devices. Then, the working mechanism, structure, and a characteristic of different types of energy harvesters are discussed. The features and challenges of different energy harvesters in energy supply and energy management of sweat sensors are emphasized. The review concludes with a look at the future prospects of self-powered sweat sensors, outlining the trajectory of the field and its potential to flourish.
