Distributed implantable microchips as wireless networks for neural sensing and stimulation.
Review 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
We examine ongoing research for implantable sensors and stimulators for future brain-computer applications and give a review on the concept where grain-of-sand size silicon microchips form the individual nodes in a multichannel wireless implant. In such an approach, each chip can perform the function of a stand-alone independent sensor if equipped with active microelectronic circuits designed to detect or stimulate target populations of neurons and capability for wireless communication. Delivering power to individual as well as spatially distributed ensembles of microchips requires a method for efficient transcutaneous/transcranial wireless energy transfer approach. Here we offer examples from authors' experience and comparisons to contemporary approaches as well as the challenges ahead in developing clinically viable wireless cortical chip-in-the-brain interfaces.
