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

Near Field Communication (NFC) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies offer wireless data transmission and energy supply for flexible wearable and implantable sensing systems. By eliminating bulky batteries or external wiring, these technologies significantly advance personalized medicine through wearable and implantable systems with reduced size, increased flexibility, and improved mechanical adaptability to the human body. This multidisciplinary research area encompasses the fundamental mechanisms of antenna theory, simulation & design, micro/nano-fabrication, and their biomedical applications. This review provides an overview of emerging wireless, personalized/decentralized biomedical devices focusing on NFC/RFID antennas design mechanisms, flexible NFC/RFID-based physical, chemical, and biosensors, as well as drug delivery implants. Moreover, challenges and future directions regarding flexible NFC/RFID-based systems are provided. Advancing this field will require collaborative efforts from researchers in antenna design, materials science, biology, and medical care, driving the development of NFC/RFID in biomedical applications.
