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

Food allergies have become a worldwide public health issue, highlighting the critical need for rapid, sensitive, and field-deployable detection strategies. While traditional detection methods offer high accuracy, their high cost, operational complexity, and lengthy analysis time limit their applicability for rapid screening purposes. Emerging biosensing technologies offer innovative solutions. This review first outlined the characteristics of food allergens and conventional detection approaches and subsequently provided a systematic summary of recent developments in fluorescence, colorimetric, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface plasmon resonance, and electrochemical sensors, classified according to their signal transduction mechanisms. Furthermore, this review examined the underlying principles, signal amplification mechanisms, analytical performance, and practical validation of different sensor platforms in real-sample analysis. Current challenges include matrix interference, limited multiplexing, poor long-term stability, and the high cost of recognition elements. Future development directions encompass antifouling interfaces, high-throughput platforms, self-powered and wearable technologies, standardized evaluation frameworks, and artificial intelligence algorithms. This review aimed to offer both a theoretical framework and directional guidance to inform future studies and practical implementations of rapid food allergen detection technologies.
