Conductive Hydrogels in Biomedical Engineering: Recent Advances and a Comprehensive Review.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 have gained considerable interest in the biomedical field because they provide a soft, hydrated, and electrically active microenvironment that closely resembles native tissue. Their unique combination of electrical conductivity and biocompatibility enables monitoring and modulation of biological activities. With the rapid development of conductive hydrogel technologies in recent years, a comprehensive overview is needed to clarify their biological functions and the latest biomedical applications. This review first summarizes the fundamental design strategies, fabrication methods, and conductive mechanisms of conductive hydrogels. We then highlight their applications in wearable device, implanted bioelectronics, wound healing, neural regeneration and cell regulation, accompanied by discussions of the underlying biological and electroactive mechanisms. Potential challenges and future directions, including strategies to optimize fabrication methods, balance key material properties, and tailor conductive hydrogels for diverse biomedical applications, are also highlighted. Finally, we discuss the existing limitations and future perspectives of the biomedical applications of conductive hydrogels. We hope that this article may provide some useful insights to support their further development and potential biomedical applications.
