Advances in Optical Microfibers: From Fabrication to Functionalization and Sensing Applications.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Currently, optical fibers play a leading role in telecommunications, serve as special transmission components for industrial applications, and form the basis of highly sensitive sensor elements. One of the most commonly used modifications is the reduction in the initial dimensions of the cladding and core to a few or several micrometers, allowing the evanescent wave emerging from the tapered region to interact with the surrounding environment. As a result, the microfiber formed in this way is highly sensitive to any changes in its surroundings, making it an ideal sensing element. This article primarily focuses on reviewing the latest trends in science involving various types of optical microfibers, including tapers, rings, loops, coils, and tapered fiber Bragg gratings. Additionally, it discusses the most commonly used materials for coating fiber optic elements-such as metals, oxides, polymers, organic materials, and graphene-which enhance sensitivity to specific physical factors and enable selectivity in the developed sensors.
