Quartz-enhanced laser spectroscopy sensing.
Review in Light, science & applications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Gas sensing technology is widely applied in various fields, including environmental monitoring, industrial process control, medical diagnostics, safety warnings, and more. As a detection element, the quartz tuning fork (QTF) offers advantages such as high-quality factor (Q-factor), strong noise immunity, compact size, and low cost. Notably, its resonant characteristics significantly enhance system signal strength. Two spectroscopic techniques based on QTF detection, Quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) and light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy (LITES), are currently research hotspots in the field of spectral sensing. This paper provides a comprehensive and detailed review and highlights pivotal innovations in these two QTF-based spectroscopic techniques. For QEPAS, these encompass high-power excitation methods, novel excitation sources, advanced QTF detection elements, and acoustic wave amplification strategies. Regarding LITES, the researches on optical cavity-enhanced approaches, modified QTF improvement mechanisms, integration with heterodyne demodulation technique, and combination with QEPAS were analyzed. These advances have enabled quartz-enhanced laser spectroscopy to achieve detection limits ranging from parts-per-billion (ppb) to parts-per-trillion (ppt) levels for trace gases such as methane (CH₄), acetylene (C₂H₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and so on. Additionally, prospects for future technological developments are also discussed in the concluding section.
