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

Humans possess an innate ability to perceive a wide range of objects through touch, which allows them to interact effectively with their surroundings. Similarly, tactile perception in artificial sensory systems enables the acquisition of object properties, human physiological signals, and environmental information. Biomimetic tactile sensors, as an emerging sensing technology, draw inspiration from biological systems and exhibit high sensitivity, rapid response, multimodal perception, and stability. By mimicking biological mechanisms and microstructures, these sensors achieve precise detection of mechanical signals, thereby paving the way for advancements in tactile sensing applications. This review provides an overview of key sensing mechanisms, microstructure designs, and advanced fabrication techniques of biomimetic tactile sensors. The system architecture design of biomimetic tactile sensing systems is also explored. Furthermore, the review highlights significant applications of these sensors in recent years, including texture recognition, human health detection, and human-machine interaction. Finally, the key challenges and future development prospects related to biomimetic tactile sensors are discussed.
