Non-Destructive Characterization of Drywall Moisture Content Using Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
Despite its wide acceptance, one of the most critical limitations of Terahertz wave technology is its high sensitivity to moisture. This limitation can, in turn, be exploited for use in moisture detection applications. This work presents a quantitative, non-invasive characterization of moisture content in standard gypsum drywall using Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS). With an increase in the moisture content of the drywall sample, experimental results indicated an increase in the dielectric properties such as the refractive index, permittivity, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, and dissipation factor. The demonstrated sensitivity to moisture establishes THz-TDS as a powerful tool for structural monitoring, hidden defect detection, and electromagnetic modeling of real-world building environments. Beyond material diagnostics, these findings have broader implications for THz indoor propagation studies, especially for emerging sub-THz and low THz communication technologies in 5G/6G and THz imaging of objects hidden behind the wall.
