A lightweight durable full-body electrical stimulation suit for haptic feedback and therapeutic applications.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Electrical stimulation represents a promising approach for the integrated delivery of haptic feedback and therapeutic interventions. Devices engineered for electrical stimulation interactions can simultaneously support a range of biomedical applications, including tissue regeneration, wound healing, pain management, and cosmetic procedures. When implemented at a full-body scale, such systems can provide precise spatiotemporal haptic feedback within extended reality (XR) environments, while simultaneously serving as therapeutic platforms for conditions amenable to electrical treatment. We introduce a full-body electrical stimulation suit which comprises a textile-based compression garment embedded with soft electrical stimulators designed for universal applicability across diverse user populations. An integrated calibration system continuously monitors contact pressure at each stimulation site across the body and dynamically adjusts electrical stimulation parameters based on site-specific impedance, enabling precise and consistent electrotactile feedback. The suit's lightweight, breathable, and durable design ensures comfort and wearability comparable to that of standard undergarments, thereby addressing the usability and discomfort limitations commonly associated with existing full-body systems. By incorporating soft and flexible materials, the suit supports prolonged usage without compromising the effectiveness of electrical stimulation. This technology holds significant potential for enhancing immersive experiences in XR applications and therapeutic interventions by seamlessly integrating high-fidelity haptic feedback with optimized wearability.
