A Conformal Wearable Ultrasound Bioelectronics for Mechanotherapy Reprogramming of Fibroblast Plasticity via Wnt-FGF10 Axis to Overcome Fibrotic Healing in Urethral Regeneration.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. 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
Postoperative fibrotic complications persistently challenge urethral reconstruction due to dysregulated stromal repair and poor graft integration. Conventional rigid ultrasound transducers lack anatomical conformity on dynamic tissues, limiting therapeutic efficacy. Here, we introduce a conformal, wearable low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) bioelectronic system that overcomes these constraints via controlled adhesion printing and liquid metal interconnects. This low-cost (<$20), flexible device ensures stable acoustic coupling and programmable mechanostimulation while maintaining mechanical integrity and biocompatibility under repeated use. In a rabbit model of full-thickness urethral defect, LIPUS significantly improves luminal patency and urinary flow function, promotes angiogenesis and elastic fiber regeneration, while suppressing collagen deposition and pro-inflammatory macrophage infiltration. Integrated multi-omics and single-nucleus RNA sequencing reveal that LIPUS activates the Wnt pathway to drive fibroblast differentiation into a terminally differentiated FGF10
