Recent Advances in Biomimetic Hydrogels for Bioelectronics and Human-Machine Interactions.
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
Biomimetic hydrogels have emerged as versatile bioelectronic interface materials for bioelectronics and human-machine interfaces (HMIs), enabling mechanically compliant and multifunctional interactions between electronic devices and biological tissues. Inspired by the structures and functions of biological systems, these hydrogels incorporate tissue-like mechanics, efficient ionic/electronic transport, robust wet adhesion, and environmental adaptability within hydrated polymer networks, enabling stable bioelectronic interfaces. This review first categorizes biomimetic hydrogels into polymer-based hydrogels, carbon-polymer composites, and metal-polymer composites, with emphasis on their structural features and functional properties. We then discuss biomimetic strategies for regulating charge transport, mechanical performance, and interfacial adhesion through structural and molecular engineering, highlighting how biomimetic principles are translated into material properties. Finally, representative applications in electrophysiological monitoring, biochemical sensing, gesture recognition, and robotic control are discussed to establish the link between biomimetic material design and device functionality. Overall, this review highlights the design principles that connect biological inspiration to material properties and bioelectronic functions, providing a framework for the development of hydrogel-based biointerfaces for advanced bioelectronics and HMIs.
