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 development of wearable bioimaging platforms has accelerated in the era of precision medicine, addressing the limitations of conventional, facility-based systems, which can be costly and difficult to access. In this review, we first outline the operating principles of major imaging modalities, with an emphasis on target tissues and factors that contribute to image quality. Next, we survey advances in miniaturizing these modalities into wearable devices, from electrical impedance tomography belts to flexible ultrasound and photoacoustic patches, highlighting materials selection and fabrication strategies that enhance image quality, skin adhesion, and functional integration. Lastly, we discuss outstanding technical and translational challenges that must be addressed to realize the full potential of these platforms, including safety and long-term use. With sustained research and responsible commercialization, these wearable devices could reshape continuous physiological monitoring and enable more proactive, preventive health management.
