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

Microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based sensors have become essential in various fields, including healthcare, automotive, and industrial applications. These sensors integrate mechanical structures and electronics on a single chip, allowing precise, compact, and efficient measurements of parameters like pressure, force, acceleration, and chemical reactions. In this context, this review article presents the essential role of MEMS sensors in healthcare applications. In healthcare, MEMS sensors are widely used for monitoring vital signs, detecting glucose levels, managing cardiovascular and intracranial pressure, and enhancing drug delivery systems. They are also key in tactile sensing during surgeries and in improving neuromuscular monitoring through electromyography (EMG). Despite their advantages, such as small size, low energy consumption, and high performance, MEMS sensors face challenges like sensitivity drift, durability concerns, and long-term calibration stability. This article addresses these limitations and highlights ongoing advancements aimed at improving sensor accuracy, energy efficiency, and adaptability to diverse environments. By examining current trends and innovations, this review provides insights into how MEMS technology is driving breakthroughs in biomedical research, early cancer diagnosis, and bioimaging treatment. We have discussed inertial sensors, MEMS-based glucose sensors, intraocular pressure (IOP) sensors, intracranial pressure sensors, cardiovascular pressure sensors, tactile sensors, and smart inhalers. In addition, we have explored recent advancements in MEMS technologies applied to healthcare, particularly in microfluidic MEMS chips and brain-machine interfaces, with a focus on developments from the last five years. Future research directions focus on enhancing the flexibility, reliability, and energy efficiency of MEMS sensors, positioning them as key components in the next generation of healthcare and medical devices.
