Fabrication, Characterization, and Sensor Applications of Polymer-Based Whispering Gallery Mode Microresonators.
Review in ACS sensors, 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
The present article critically reviews the fabrication, characterization, and sensor applications of polymer-based whispering gallery mode resonators (WGMRs). Those resonators utilize continuous internal light reflections along curved surfaces to produce sharp resonance peaks influenced by the resonator's geometry, which appeared effective for high-sensitivity optical sensing. Polymer-based WGMRs leverage unique polymer characteristics to enhance sensor performance through parameters like quality factor (QF), free spectral range (FSR), resonance mode shifts, polarization modes, bulk refractive index (RI), sensitivity per refractive index unit (RIU), and thermo-optic effects. All-polymer WGMRs, i.e., resonators entirely made from polymers, offer design flexibility, biocompatibility, low thermal conductivity, and integration capabilities for high sensitivity, detectability, and selectivity. Polymer-coated optical fiber WGMRs improve light-material interaction, support advanced composites, integrate with microfluidics for on-chip diagnostics, and enable remote, multiplexed sensing. (Polymer shell)-(inorganic core) composite-functionalized WGMRs combine the high QFs of inorganic materials with polymers' flexibility and functionalization, providing synergistic optical properties, enhanced sensitivity, detectability, and stability. These advancements make polymer-based WGMR sensors promising for biomedical diagnostics, environmental pollution monitoring, and industrial process control. Future research will presumably optimize fabrication techniques, explore novel polymers, and integrate advanced signal processing for real-time analysis, connected with the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and cloud databases to revolutionize optical and photonic sensing platforms.
