Advances in electrical stimulation for wound healing.
Review in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Electrical stimulation (ES), as a cutting-edge biomedical strategy for promoting wound healing, accelerates tissue regeneration and repair processes through directional electric field intervention. Research demonstrates that both endogenous weak bioelectric potentials and exogenously applied electric fields can effectively guide cellular migration along electric field gradients while activating the biological activities of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells. These mechanisms enhance collagen synthesis and accelerate angiogenesis, thereby significantly improving wound closure rates. This review comprehensively examines recent advancements in ES technology for wound healing, focusing on emerging applications of active microcurrent devices, passive microcurrent systems, and electroactive wound dressings. Particular emphasis is placed on innovative applications of conductive polymers (CPs) and nanocomposite materials in wound repair. By systematically analyzing the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic applications of ES in wound healing, this work aims to provide novel perspectives for optimizing ES technologies and facilitating their clinical translation, offering both theoretical significance and practical value in regenerative medicine.
