The theory, technology, and application of terahertz metamaterial biosensors: A review.
Review in Fundamental research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Terahertz metamaterial biosensors combine terahertz time-domain spectroscopy with metamaterial sensing to provide a sensitive detection platform for a variety of targets, including biological molecules, proteins, cells, and viruses. These biosensors are characterized by their rapid response, sensitivity, non-destructive, label-free operation, minimal sample requirement, and user-friendly design, which also allows for integration with various technical approaches. Advancing beyond traditional biosensors, terahertz metamaterial biosensors facilitate rapid and non-destructive trace detection in biomedical applications, contributing to timely diagnosis and early screening of diseases. In this paper, the theoretical basis and advanced progress of these biosensors are discussed in depth, focusing on three key areas: improving the sensitivity and specificity, and reducing the influence of water absorption in biological samples. This paper also analyzes the potential and future development of these biosensors for expanded applications. It highlights their potential for multi-band tuning, intelligent operations, and flexible, wearable biosensor applications. This review provides a valuable reference for the follow-up research and application of terahertz metamaterial biosensors in the field of biomedical detection.
