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

Ultrasound has emerged as a non-invasive neural modulation technique. Its mechanisms of action in the brain involve mechanical, cavitation, and thermal effects, which modulate neural activity by activating mechanosensitive ion channels, enhancing cell permeability, and improving blood circulation. The ultrasound-piezo-electric systems, based on the coupling between ultrasound and piezoelectric materials, can generate wireless electrical stimulation to promote neural repair, significantly improving therapeutic outcomes for neurodegenerative diseases and showing potential as a replacement for traditional invasive deep brain stimulation techniques. The ultrasound-responsive piezoelectric drug delivery system combines mechano-electrical conversion capability of piezoelectric materials with the non-invasive penetration advantage of ultrasound. This system achieves synergistic therapeutic effects for neurodegenerative diseases through on-demand drug release and wireless electrical stimulation in deep brain regions. It can effectively overcome the blood-brain barrier limitation, enabling precisely targeted drug delivery to specific brain regions. Simultaneously, it generates electrical stimulation in deep brain areas to exert synergistic neuroreparative effects. Together, these capabilities provide a more precise, efficient, and safe solution for treating neurodegenerative diseases. This review summarizes the neural regulatory mechanisms, technical advantages, and research progress of the ultrasound-responsive piezoelectric drug delivery systems for neurodegenerative disease therapy, aiming to offer novel insights for the field.
