Electrical Microenvironment Reconstruction and the Application of Biomaterials in Spinal Cord Injury.
Review in Journal of functional biomaterials, 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
The key challenge in restoring neural function after spinal cord injury stems from a vicious cycle triggered by the collapse of the bioelectrical microenvironment at the injury site: an 'electrical silence-neuronal degeneration-glial proliferation' cascade that conventional therapies fail to reverse. This review systematically summarizes the pathological mechanisms of electrical microenvironment imbalance and its critical role in neural regeneration. Furthermore, current intervention strategies based on biomaterials are outlined: evolving from passive reconstruction of electrical pathways using conductive materials to proactive regulation of local electric fields through exogenous electrical stimulation, which activates key signaling pathways, such as voltage-gated calcium channels, and thereby promotes axonal regeneration, stem cell differentiation, and immune modulation. Although existing strategies face challenges in precision and biocompatibility, this review integrates multidisciplinary perspectives from neuroscience and biomaterials to establish a theoretical framework for designing precise, biocompatible electrically modulating biomaterials. Ultimately, we aim to advance spinal cord injury treatment from local electrical environment restoration toward a paradigm shift toward functional neural circuit reconstruction.
