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

Epidermal sensors are pivotal components of next-generation wearable technologies. They offer transformative potential in health monitoring, motion tracking, and biomedical applications. This potential stems from their ultra-thin design, skin compatibility, and ability to continuously detect physiological signals. The long-term functionality relies on advanced power systems balancing flexibility, energy density, and environmental resilience. This review highlights four key power strategies: chemical batteries, biofuel cells, environmental energy harvesters, and wireless power transfer. Breakthroughs in multidimensional materials address challenges in ion transport, catalytic stability, and mechanical durability. Structural innovations mitigate issues like dendrite growth and enzyme degradation. These systems enable applications spanning biomarker analysis, motion sensing, and environmental monitoring. By integrating these advancements, this review concludes with a prospective outlook on future directions for epidermal sensor power systems.
