A smart acoustic textile for health monitoring.
Article in Nature electronics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Wearable electronics, such as smart textiles, are of potential use in healthcare monitoring, human-machine interfaces and environmental analysis. However, the scalability and reliability of the technology is restricted due to challenges related to rapid material degradation, potential toxicity, high production costs and heavy computational workload. Here we report an acoustic-based smart textile technology. The approach, which we term SonoTextiles, uses piezoelectric transducers that are mounted at both ends of glass microfibres and act as transmitters and receivers of acoustic waves. The flexible glass microfibres act as acoustic waveguides and are embedded into the textile substrate, providing precise sensing by measuring wave propagation and energy loss along the fibre in response to stimuli such as touch and bending. We also use acoustic frequency selectivity and frequency-domain signal processing algorithms to enhance computational efficiency. Our acoustic textile is breathable, durable and stable under thermal fluctuations, and we show that it can be used in distributed tactile sensing, hand gesture recognition and respiratory rate monitoring.
