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

The expansion force generated by lithium-ion batteries during charge-discharge cycles is a key indicator of their structural safety and health. Recently, flexible pressure-sensing technologies have emerged as promising solutions for in situ swelling monitoring, owing to their high flexibility, sensitivity and integration capability. This review provides a systematic summary of progress in this field. Firstly, we discuss the mechanisms of battery swelling and the principles of conventional measurement methods. It then compares their accuracy, dynamic response and environmental adaptability. Subsequently, the main flexible pressure-sensing mechanisms are categorized, including piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric and triboelectric types, and their material designs, structural configurations and sensing behaviors are discussed. Building on this, we examine integration strategies for flexible pressure sensors in battery systems. It covers surface-mounted and embedded approaches at the cell level, as well as array-based and distributed schemes at the module level. A comparative analysis highlights the differences in installation constraints and monitoring capabilities between these approaches. Additionally, this section also summarizes the characteristics of swelling signals and recent advances in data processing techniques, including AI-assisted feature extraction, fault detection and health state correlation. Despite their promise, challenges such as long-term material stability and signal interference remain. Future research is expected to focus on high-performance sensing materials, multimodal sensing fusion and intelligent data processing, with the aim of further advancing the integration of flexible sensing technologies into battery management systems and enhancing early warning and safety protection capabilities.
