Cellulose-Based Conductive Hydrogels: Design Strategies and Applications in Flexible Electronics.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 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
With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and wearable technologies, the demand for soft, multifunctional electronic materials has grown substantially. Hydrogels have emerged as a promising platform due to their intrinsic softness, stretchability, and biocompatibility. Among them, cellulose-based conductive hydrogels uniquely integrate the sustainability of natural polymers with tunable electrical functionality, offering significant potential for flexible and biointegrated electronics. This review provides a comprehensive and critical perspective on the recent progress in cellulose-based conductive hydrogels. We systematically summarize key design strategies, including physical and chemical crosslinking and interpenetrating network engineering. More importantly, we present a comparative analysis of distinct conductive mechanisms, including ionic conduction, conductive polymers, metallic nanostructures, and carbon-based fillers, highlighting the inherent trade-offs among electrical conductivity, mechanical robustness, and environmental stability. Emerging applications in flexible electronics, energy storage, bioelectronics, and self-powered systems are discussed through structure-property relationships. Finally, we outline current challenges and future directions, emphasizing multifunctional integration, scalable fabrication, and long-term operational stability, thereby providing a framework for the rational design of next-generation sustainable electronic materials.
