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

Rapid developments in intelligent interfaces across service, healthcare, and industry have led to unprecedented demands for advanced tactile perception systems. Traditional tactile sensors often struggle with adaptability on curved surfaces and lack sufficient feedback for delicate interactions. Flexible and wearable tactile sensors are emerging as a revolutionary solution, driven by innovations in flexible electronics and micro-engineered materials. This paper reviews recent advancements in flexible tactile sensors, focusing on their mechanisms, multifunctional performance and applications in health monitoring, human-machine interactions, and robotics. The first section outlines the primary transduction mechanisms of piezoresistive (resistance changes), capacitive (capacitance changes), piezoelectric (piezoelectric effect), and triboelectric (contact electrification) sensors while examining material selection strategies for performance optimization. Next, we explore the structural design of multifunctional flexible tactile sensors and highlight potential applications in motion detection and wearable systems. Finally, a detailed discussion covers specific applications of these sensors in health monitoring, human-machine interactions, and robotics. This review examines their promising prospects across various fields, including medical care, virtual reality, precision agriculture, and ocean monitoring.
