Deformable Sensors for Pressure and Position Assessment Using Time-Domain Reflectometry in Motor Rehabilitation.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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
This work presents the design and preliminary experimental validation of deformable sensors based on time-domain reflectometry (TDR) for rehabilitation-oriented interaction monitoring. Three architectures were investigated: a planar multilayer sensor and two coaxial configurations based on foam and engineered TPU-Hilbert structures. Controlled indentation tests were performed at different positions and deformation levels, extracting two TDR-derived features: the minimum reflection coefficient ρmin, related to deformation intensity, and the perturbation time tpert, related to contact localization. Preliminary calibration curves and two-dimensional maps were used to analyze the coupled dependence of the response on position and indentation depth. Application-oriented manual tests confirmed the different suitability of the three geometries for localized finger pressing, distributed two-hand grasping, and controlled single-hand squeezing. Overall, the results support TDR-based deformable sensors as low-complexity and geometry-adaptable tools for spatially resolved monitoring of motor rehabilitation interactions.
