Edible electronics: Current landscape and emerging pathways.
Review in Journal of materials research, 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
Edible electronics was envisioned not long ago as a radical alternative approach to existing ingestible electronics, where all components are made of edible functional materials, which can be digested, metabolized, or simply excreted without threats for human health nor environmental concerns. In this contribution, we ought to draw a line and critically revise the most concrete developments achieved in this field since its recent conception. Our aim is to offer an overview of the most recent progress that allow reassessing the vision towards future edible systems. Challenges towards reliable and manufacturable edible electronic systems still withstand, and further critical specific aspects will have to be addressed, including regulations and acceptance. Nevertheless, the relevant scientific and technical progress has made opportunities in edible smart pills for gastrointestinal monitoring and food sensors for safe tracking and waste reduction more concrete. At the same time, broader opportunities emerge. Graphical abstract:
