A Multifunctional MWCNTs-Reinforced Chitosan-Gelatin Conducting Hydrogel for Triboelectric Nanogenerator and Artificial Opto-Electronic Synapse Applications.
Article in Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, 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
Hydrogel systems uniting electrical conductivity, sensory responsiveness, and mechanical integrity are emerging as foundational building blocks for next-generation bioinspired electronics. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) represent a particularly attractive avenue for recovering ambient mechanical energy, while optoelectronic neuromorphic synapses offer energy-efficient, in-sensor optical processing reminiscent of biological visual pathways. In this work, a chitosan-gelatin (CSG) conducting hydrogel is prepared via solution casting and reinforced with carboxyl-functionalized MWCNTs and NaCl. The functionalized nanotube network establishes strong interfacial interactions within the biopolymer matrix, yielding a material with controlled swelling behavior, adequate mechanical resilience with favorable viscoelastic characteristics. The concurrent ionic-electronic transport pathways and elevated charge mobility underpin a well-defined structure-property relationship, translating directly into efficient mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion. The fabricated TENG achieves an open-circuit voltage of ∼398 V, short-circuit current of ∼96 µA, and power density of ∼132.91 µW/cm
