Smart Bandage Based on Batteryless NFC for Wireless Pressure and Wound State Monitoring.
Article in Biosensors, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Although compression therapy is widely used to improve wound healing, selecting the appropriate pressure remains a challenge in clinical practice. This work proposes an intelligent patch integrated into a bandage that allows for the simultaneous monitoring of the applied pressure and wound condition using Near-Field Communication (NFC). The proposed patch integrates a force-sensitive resistive sensor to measure pressure and a capacitive sensor to detect wound exudate through capacitance variations. Capacitance is obtained by analyzing the delay in the stepwise response of the sensor, while resistance is measured from the voltage drop across a resistive divider, which is read by a microcontroller's analog-to-digital converter. The system is powered wirelessly through NFC energy harvesting, triggered by a mobile device that acts as a reader. The NFC module can be moved away after measurement to improve patient comfort or remain integrated into the dressing for periodic monitoring. Experimental results demonstrate pressure measurements up to 140 mmHg and exudate detection up to 200 μL, confirming the feasibility of battery-free NFC smart bandages for therapeutic monitoring based on wound compression.
