Wearable sensors for respiratory protection in occupational settings.
Review in Journal of safety research, 2026. 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
introductionWearable sensors are emerging as potential safety tools for protecting the respiratory health of workers across industries.
methodThis review summarizes recent research and technological advances in wearable sensors that enable continuous monitoring of respiratory metrics, including personal respiratory health and environmental exposure, across diverse workplaces. The review highlights the integration of these sensors into respirators and face masks for real-time monitoring of respiratory status, exposure, and device integrity. To illustrate the practical implications, the paper discusses representative case studies from high-risk sectors, including mining, firefighting, healthcare, construction, and oil and gas.
resultsThis review reveals that, although several types of wearable respiratory sensors are available for public use, only a few are specifically tailored for occupational respiratory protection. Efforts toward field validation, standards development, user acceptance, and regulatory compliance are needed to translate prototypes into practical tools for occupational risk mitigation.
conclusionsThe future of workplace respiratory safety will also benefit from the integration of these sensors with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things, and computer vision. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This study provides an overview of the current state of wearable respiratory sensors, identifies outstanding challenges that hinder their widespread adoption in occupational settings, and outlines potential avenues for future research to translate them into validated occupational safety tools.
