Sensing Techniques for Structural Health Monitoring: A State-of-the-Art Review on Performance Criteria and New-Generation Technologies.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
This systematic review examines the capabilities, challenges, and practical implementations of the most widely utilized and emerging sensing technologies in structural health monitoring (SHM) for infrastructures, addressing a critical research gap. While many existing reviews focus on individual methods, comprehensive cross-method comparisons have been limited due to the highly tailored nature of each technology. We address this by proposing a novel framework comprising five specific evaluation criteria-deployment suitability in SHM, hardware prerequisites, characteristics of the acquired signals, sensitivity metrics, and integration with Digital Twin environments-refined with subcriteria to ensure transparent and meaningful performance assessments. Applying this framework, we analyze both the advantages and constraints of established sensing technologies, including infrared thermography, electrochemical sensing, strain measurement, ultrasonic testing, visual inspection, vibration analysis, and acoustic emission. Our findings highlight critical trade-offs in scalability, environmental sensitivity, and diagnostic accuracy. Recognizing these challenges, we explore next-generation advancements such as self-sensing structures, unmanned aerial vehicle deployment, IoT-enabled data fusion, and enhanced Digital Twin simulations. These innovations aim to overcome existing limitations by enhancing real-time monitoring, data management, and remote accessibility. This review provides actionable insights for researchers and practitioners while identifying future research opportunities to advance scalable and adaptive SHM solutions for large-scale infrastructure.
