Tactical-Grade Wearables and Authentication Biometrics.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Modern battlefield operations require wearable technologies to operate reliably under harsh physical, environmental, and security conditions. This review looks at today and tomorrow's potential for ready field-grade wearables embedded with biometric authentication systems. It details physiological, kinematic, and multimodal sensor platforms built to withstand rugged, high-stress environments, and reviews biometric modalities like ECG, PPG, EEG, gait, and voice for continuous or on-demand identity confirmation. Accuracy, latency, energy efficiency, and tolerance to motion artifacts, environmental extremes, and physiological variability are critical performance drivers. Security threats, such as spoofing and data tapping, and techniques for template protection, liveness assurance, and protected on-device processing also come under review. Emerging trends in low-power edge AI, multimodal integration, adaptive learning from field experience, and privacy-preserving analytics in terms of defense readiness, and ongoing challenges, such as gear interoperability, long-term stability of templates, and common stress-testing protocols, are assessed. In conclusion, an R&D plan to lead the development of rugged, trustworthy, and operationally validated wearable authentication systems for the current and future militaries is proposed.
