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

Stimulus-responsive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a subclass of MOFs that undergo physicochemical changes in response to external stimuli. The large surface area, tunable properties, and high porosity of MOFs and their dynamic nature of stimulus-responsiveness, making them highly effective for sensing applications. The luminescence properties of MOF-based sensors enable optical detection, making them cost-effective compared with conventional sensing techniques. MOFs can response to various stimuli; however, the practical application of these stimulus-responsive MOFs is limited by challenges such as poor processability and stability, requiring further advancements to enhance their real-world viability. Recently, the integration of stimulus-responsive MOFs into hydrogels has been extensively explored to improve their performance as sensors. This review highlights the utilization of stimulus-responsive MOF-hydrogel composites as sensors. The types of stimuli, preparation methods, and the distinct roles of both MOF and hydrogel components are discussed. The applications covered include biosensing, environmental remediation, and agricultural food safety monitoring, with target analytes spanning across heavy metals, toxic anions, volatile organic compounds, pesticides, biomolecules, and mycotoxins. Furthermore, the challenges and future prospects of stimulus-responsive MOF-hydrogel composites are evaluated, with rational design strategies proposed to guide future development.
