Recent Developments in Microneedle Biosensors for Biomedical and Agricultural Applications.
Review in Micromachines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Microneedles have emerged as a versatile technology for biosensing across biomedical domains and are increasingly being explored for other applications like agriculture. This review highlights recent advancements in the development of microneedle-based biosensors in novel areas. Biomedical applications include continuous glucose monitoring, multiplexed biomarker detection beyond glucose, and numerous recent works presenting fully integrated systems comprising microneedle arrays alongside miniaturized wearable electronics. Agricultural applications largely focus on the detection of plant growth markers, hormones, and nutrient levels. Despite significant progress, challenges remain in overcoming biofouling and electrode degradation, optimizing electrode longevity for long-term (weeks to months) in situ monitoring, and creating scalable sensor fabrication processes. Additionally, there is a need for standardized mechanical and electrical testing protocols, and guidelines specifying critical performance metrics that should be reported to facilitate accurate literature comparisons. The review concludes by outlining key opportunities for future research to address these persisting challenges.
