Design Strategies and Emerging Applications of Conductive Hydrogels in Wearable Sensing.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Conductive hydrogels, integrating high conductivity, mechanical flexibility, and biocompatibility, have emerged as crucial materials driving the evolution of next-generation wearable sensors. Their unique ability to establish seamless interfaces with biological tissues enables real-time acquisition of physiological signals, external stimuli, and even therapeutic feedback, paving the way for intelligent health monitoring and personalized medical interventions. To fully harness their potential, significant efforts have been dedicated to tailoring the conductive networks, mechanical properties, and environmental stability of these hydrogels through rational design and systematic optimization. This review comprehensively summarizes the design strategies of conductive hydrogels, categorized into metal-based, carbon-based, conductive polymer-based, ionic, and hybrid conductive systems. For each type, the review highlights structural design principles, strategies for conductivity enhancement, and approaches to simultaneously enhance mechanical robustness and long-term stability under complex environments. Furthermore, the emerging applications of conductive hydrogels in wearable sensing systems are thoroughly discussed, covering physiological signal monitoring, mechano-responsive sensing platforms, and emerging closed-loop diagnostic-therapeutic systems. Finally, this review identifies key challenges and offers future perspectives to guide the development of multifunctional, intelligent, and scalable conductive hydrogel sensors, accelerating their translation into advanced flexible electronics and smart healthcare technologies.
