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

Continuous and real-time monitoring of the subtle spatio-temporal changes in human physiological states are essential for daily diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, the capacity for monitoring is frequently restricted by available materials and specific application contexts. Wearable Flexible Ultrasound Biosensors (WFUBs) can be comfortably applied to the human body and have the functions of continuous monitoring and interventional therapy. The review summarized recent advances in the way WFUBs acquire vital data from particular biological tissue, the structural design and material selection, including the substrate, electrical connection, electrode, and the material synthesis of biosensors. In addition, the aspects of performance improvement of WFUBs were summarized, and the applications of wearable ultrasound systems in health care, diagnostic imaging, and interventional therapy were further discussed. Finally, the challenges and future research directions in the field of next generation WFUBs were explored.
