Advances in Crack-Based Strain Sensors on Stretchable Polymeric Substrates: Crack Mechanisms, Geometrical Factors, and Functional Structures.
Review in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 review focuses on deepening the structural understanding of crack-based strain sensors (CBSS) on stretchable and flexible polymeric substrates and promoting sensor performance optimization. CBSS are cutting-edge devices that purposely incorporate cracks into their functional elements, thereby achieving high sensitivity, wide working ranges, and rapid response times. To optimize the performance of CBSS, systematic research on the structural characteristics of cracks is essential. This review comprehensively analyzes the key factors determining CBSS performance such as the crack mechanism, geometrical factors, and functional structures and proposes optimization strategies grounded in these insights. In addition, we explore the potential of numerical analysis and machine learning to offer novel perspectives for sensor optimization. Following this, we introduce various applications of CBSS. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and future prospects in CBSS research, providing a roadmap for next-generation technologies.
