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

Flexible resistive sensors are promising for wearable and ergonomic applications because they can be easily fabricated on textiles or flexible substrates and enable real-time monitoring of human movement and posture, especially in health monitoring systems. This review presents an overview of recent developments in an interdisciplinary way and summarises advances in materials, fabrication methods, and ergonomic applications. A structured literature search was conducted across major databases, including only studies focused on resistive sensing. The selected works were analysed in terms of conductive materials, fabrication techniques (e.g., direct ink writing (DIW) and textile-based methods), and their integration into wearable systems. Flexible resistive sensors are widely used for monitoring joint motion, posture, and physiological signals in healthcare and industrial environments. However, several challenges remain, including limitations in sensitivity, signal stability, material durability, and the need for reliable calibration in real-world conditions. This review highlights current progress and existing limitations and outlines future research directions toward more robust and user-friendly wearable sensing solutions for ergonomic applications.
