Piezoelectric amino acids and peptides: Mechanisms, molecular engineering, and biomedical applications.
Review in iScience, 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
Piezoelectric amino acids and peptides have attracted growing attention in biomedical research because of their intrinsic piezoelectricity, superior biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The electrical signals generated by these materials resemble endogenous bioelectric signals in tissues, making them promising for biosensing, tissue regeneration, antimicrobial therapy, and cancer treatment. This review summarizes the piezoelectric mechanisms, classifications, molecular modification approaches, external-field-assisted fabrication methods, and reported biomedical applications of amino acid- and peptide-based piezoelectric biomaterials. It also outlines key challenges and future directions for biodegradable bioelectronic systems. By integrating these aspects, this review provides a theoretical foundation for developing targeted piezoelectric amino acid and peptide materials with excellent piezoelectric performance, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, and for promoting their clinical application.
