Wearable threads for monitoring sanitizer quality using dye displacement assay.
Article in RSC advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 study employs zero-cost (≈0.01 $) and durable thread-based devices to evaluate the quality of simulated and commercial sanitizer samples through dye displacement assay (DDA). A diverse range of sanitizer compositions, including ethanol concentrations of 55%, 75%, and 95% (v/v), were analysed. This investigation encompasses an assessment of the marker type (Doms and Hauser brands) on the migration distance of the dye region marked on thread devices. Our results demonstrate a proportional increase in the migration distance of the dye with increasing ethanol concentrations due to a decrease in the coefficient of viscosity and solvation power of ethanol on dye molecules. Additionally, a field trial for the thorough assessment of commercial sanitizer quality using thread-based devices further underscores the efficacy of this methodology. A calibration plot for a braided thread with Doms marker dye provides a reliable means to quantitatively assess the ethanol content in different commercial sanitizer compositions. Our findings collectively highlight the significance of this innovative method as a valuable tool for quality control and assessment for public health and hygiene as well as for preparing us for another pandemic.
