Plasmonic smart contact lens based on etalon nanostructure for tear glucose sensing.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Smart contact lenses, one of the most advanced wearable platforms, offer a combination of optical and electronic technologies that provide exceptional capabilities in various fields. These lenses are equipped with biosensors, microchips, and sometimes even miniature displays that enable the collection and analysis of biological and environmental data. Smart contact lenses represent a big leap in wearable technology and biosensors, potentially providing a new future for human interaction with the digital world, improving personal health, and promising a hopeful future in vision and wearable technologies. In this study, smart contact lenses based on plasmonic etalon nanostructure have been proposed and fabricated for tear glucose sensing. A cost-effective and simple technique of soft nanolithography has been proposed to fabricate a plasmonic sensor chip on a contact lens, enabling the detection of glucose solutions at different concentrations of 0.15, 1.5, 5, and 10 mM in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution. The proposed plasmonic etalon-based smart contact lens as a wearable platform exhibits the capacity to sense tear glucose (even at low concentration values) and offers relatively high sensitivity for non-invasive tear glucose sensing applications. The biocompatibility, cost-effectiveness, stability, and simple production of these contact lenses may provide new perspectives on wearable biosensors.
