Graphene-based wearable biosensors for point-of-care diagnostics: From surface functionalization to biomarker detection.
Review in Materials today. Bio, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
The growing demand for non-invasive, real-time health monitoring has driven the development of graphene-based wearable biosensors for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. This review explores the surface functionalization of graphene and its critical role in enhancing the performance of wearable biosensors for biomarker detection. Leveraging graphene's exceptional electrical, mechanical, and biocompatible properties, we discuss how surface functionalization-such as covalent and non-covalent functionalization, biomolecular probes, and passivation layers-enable highly sensitive and selective detection of biomarkers in biofluids. We categorize biomarkers based on their physical properties and explore various wearable designs, including patches, contact lenses, microneedles, and textiles, highlighting their integration into POC devices. Furthermore, we examine the challenges and opportunities in translating graphene-based sensors from the lab to real-world applications, emphasizing the importance of biocompatibility and surface functionalization for improved performance. By bridging the gap between material science and biomedical engineering, this review provides a roadmap for the development of next-generation graphene biosensors that could revolutionize personalized medicine and point-of-care diagnostics.
