Digital light processing 3D printing of flexible devices: actuators, sensors and energy devices.
Review in Microsystems & nanoengineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Flexible devices are increasingly crucial in various aspects of our lives, including healthcare devices and human-machine interface systems, revolutionizing human life. As technology evolves rapidly, there is a high demand for innovative manufacturing methods that enable rapid prototyping of custom and multifunctional flexible devices with high quality. Recently, digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing has emerged as a promising manufacturing approach due to its capabilities of creating intricate customized structures, high fabrication speed, low-cost technology and widespread adoption. This review provides a state-of-the-art overview of the recent advances in the creation of flexible devices using DLP printing, with a focus on soft actuators, flexible sensors and flexible energy devices. We emphasize how DLP printing and the development of DLP printable materials enhance the structural design, sensitivity, mechanical performance, and overall functionality of these devices. Finally, we discuss the challenges and perspectives associated with DLP-printed flexible devices. We anticipate that the continued advancements in DLP printing will foster the development of smarter flexible devices, shortening the design-to-manufacturing cycles.
