Review in Biosensors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors have garnered increasing attention due to their high sensitivity, low background signal, and rapid response. The incorporation of hydrogels into PEC platforms has significantly expanded their analytical capabilities by introducing features such as biocompatibility, tunable porosity, antifouling behavior, and mechanical flexibility. This review systematically categorizes hydrogel materials into four main types-nucleic acid-based, synthetic polymer, natural polymer, and carbon-based-and summarizes their functional roles in PEC sensors, including structural support, responsive amplification, antifouling interface construction, flexible electrolyte integration, and visual signal output. Representative applications are highlighted, ranging from the detection of ions, small biomolecules, and biomacromolecules to environmental pollutants, photodetectors, and flexible bioelectronic devices. Finally, key challenges-such as improving fabrication scalability, enhancing operational stability, integrating emerging photoactive materials, and advancing bio-inspired system design-are discussed to guide the future development of hydrogel-enhanced PEC sensing technologies.
