Wireless Devices for Optical Brain Stimulation: A Review of Current Developments for Optogenetic Applications in Freely Moving Mice.
Review in Cellular and molecular bioengineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Purpose: Optogenetics is an invaluable tool to study brain circuits, but typical systems rely on tethered approaches to deliver light to the brain that hinder natural behavior. With the increasing prevalence of complex behavioral phenotyping in neuroscience experiments, wireless devices for optical stimulation offer great promise to overcome these limitations. Methods: In this work we critically review recent systems engineering and device design approaches to deliver light to the brain with wireless operation for optogenetic experiments. Results: We describe strategies used for wireless control and communication, wireless power transfer, and light delivery to the brain with a focus on device integration for in vivo operation in freely behaving mice. Conclusion: Recent advances in optoelectronic systems, material science, and microtechnology have enabled the design and realization of miniaturized wirelessly-controlled optical stimulators for true untethered experiments in rodent models.
