Self-Powered Flexible Sensors: Recent Advances, Technological Breakthroughs, and Application Prospects.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Self-powered sensors, leveraging their integrated energy harvesting-signal sensing capability, effectively overcome the bottlenecks of traditional sensors, including reliance on external power resources, high maintenance costs, and challenges in large-scale distributed deployment. As a result, they have become a major research focus in fields such as flexible electronics, smart healthcare, and human-machine interaction. This paper reviews the core technical paths of six major types of self-powered sensors developed in recent years, with particular emphasis on the working principles and innovative material applications associated with frictional charge transfer and electrostatic induction, pyroelectric polarization dynamics, hydrovoltaic interfacial streaming potentials, piezoelectric constitutive behavior, battery integration mechanism, and photovoltaic effect. By comparing representative achievements in fields closely related to self-powered sensors, it summarizes breakthroughs in key performance indicators such as sensitivity, detection range, response speed, cyclic stability, self-powering methods, and energy conversion efficiency. The applications discussed herein mainly cover several critical domains, including wearable medical and health monitoring systems, intelligent robotics and human-machine interaction, biomedical and implantable devices, as well as safety and ecological supervision. Finally, the current challenges facing self-powered sensors are outlined and future development directions are proposed, providing a reference for the technological iteration and industrial application of self-powered sensors.
