Emerging frontiers in SERS-integrated optical waveguides: advancing portable and ultra-sensitive detection for trace liquid analysis.
Review in Light, science & applications, 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
Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) integrated with optical waveguide sensing offers a transformative approach to overcoming the limitations of conventional SERS techniques, such as complex alignment requirements and limited signal collection efficiency. By leveraging the unique properties of optical waveguides, this integration significantly enhances detection sensitivity, simplifies sensor design, and enables the analysis of ultra-low concentration analytes in trace-volume samples. This review explores the latest advancements in combining diverse optical waveguide architectures with SERS technology, focusing on strategies to optimize the sensing interface and SERS substrate design for maximal Raman signal enhancement. By enabling efficient analyte excitation and enhanced scattered signal collection through waveguide-mediated light-matter interactions, this approach unlocks new possibilities for high-sensitivity Raman detection. Furthermore, we discuss the potential of this integration to drive breakthroughs in fields such as biomedical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and chemical sensing, paving the way for next-generation, portable and ultra-sensitive sensing platforms.
