Article in Sensors and actuators. B, Chemical, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The controlled uptake and release of biochemical molecules at material interfaces is critical for applications in drug delivery, biosensing, and neurostimulation. While molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) offer selective molecular recognition, real-time visualization of electrically controlled molecular trafficking remains underexplored. This study investigates a voltage-gated molecular interface using molecularly imprinted polypyrrole (MIP-PPy) films, designed to enable reversible uptake and release of target molecules with direct optical monitoring. Fluorescein sodium salt, a model for anionic neurotransmitters, was incorporated during electrochemical polymerization to create specific recognition sites within the polymer matrix. We employed real-time fluorescence microscopy to directly track molecule transport dynamics in response to applied voltages, utilizing a custom 3D-printed flow cell for simultaneous electrical control and in situ imaging. The MIP-PPy films demonstrated self-regenerating uptake behavior from the surrounding solution, overcoming the limitations of unidirectional release in conventional microfluidic systems. This bidirectional control introduces new opportunities for reservoir-free, adaptive chemical modulation. Biocompatibility assessments using SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma and Huh7 hepatoma cells demonstrate high levels of viability and adhesion, confirming the films' suitability for biological integration. Overall, this study provides a visual and quantitative platform for investigating electrically induced molecular transport, which will assist in the development of closed-loop drug delivery and neurostimulation systems inspired by synaptic signaling.
