Polymer-Based Gas Sensors for Detection of Disease Biomarkers in Exhaled Breath.
Review in Biosensors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Exhaled breath analysis has gained considerable interest as a noninvasive diagnostic tool capable of detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inorganic gases that serve as biomarkers for various diseases. Polymer-based gas sensors have garnered significant attention due to their high sensitivity, room-temperature operation, excellent flexibility, and tunable chemical properties. This review comprehensively summarized recent advancements in polymer-based gas sensors for the detection of disease biomarkers in exhaled breath. The gas-sensing mechanism of polymers, along with novel gas-sensitive materials such as conductive polymers, polymer composites, and functionalized polymers was examined in detail. Moreover, key applications in diagnosing diseases, including asthma, chronic kidney disease, lung cancer, and diabetes, were highlighted through detecting specific biomarkers. Furthermore, current challenges related to sensor selectivity, stability, and interference from environmental humidity were discussed, and potential solutions were proposed. Future perspectives were offered on the development of next-generation polymer-based sensors, including the integration of machine learning for data analysis and the design of electronic-nose (e-nose) sensor arrays.
