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

Advancements in carbon nanotube-based FET (CNT-FET) biosensors from 2016 to 2025 have boosted their sensitivity, specificity, and rapid detection performance for biomedical purposes. This review highlights key innovations in transducer materials, functionalization strategies, and device architectures, including floating-gate CNT-FETs for detecting cancer biomarkers, infectious disease antigens, and neurodegenerative disease markers. Novel approaches, such as dual-microfluidic field-effect biosensor (dual-MFB) structures and carboxylated graphene quantum dot (cGQD) coupling, have further expanded their diagnostic potential. Despite significant progress, challenges in scalability, reproducibility, and long-term stability remain. Overall, this work highlights the transformative potential of CNT-FET biosensors while outlining a roadmap for translating laboratory innovations into practical, high-impact biomedical applications.
