Conformable thin-film cuff electrodes as tools for peripheral nerve recording: a comparative study.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 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
Peripheral nerve recordings are a powerful research technique commonly performed using commercially available elastomeric cuff electrodes. However, emerging conformable thin-film technologies which offer advantages in device flexibility, feature miniaturisation, and electrode layout may represent an important alternative tool. In this study, we compare these two device classes as acute recording tools by implanting them side-by-side on rat sciatic nerves under anaesthesia and recording activity evoked by nociceptive muscle stimulation or proprioceptive ankle extension. We find that conventional elastomeric cuffs and conformable thin-film cuffs exhibit no statistically significant signal-to-noise ratio differences under this experimental regime, either under monopolar or referenced recording paradigms. When performing signal velocity analysis, conformable thin-film cuffs show a tendency to toward more frequently classifying recorded sensory activity as afferent, compared to conventional cuffs. Our findings support that conformable thin-film cuffs are competitive research tools for acute peripheral nerve recording.
