Engineering functional electroconductive hydrogels for targeted therapy in myocardial infarction repair.
Review in Bioactive materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Myocardial infarction (MI) is characterized by a paucity of cardiomyocyte regeneration, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Contemporary therapeutic modalities, while mitigating ischemic effects, fail to reconstitute the impaired electromechanical coupling within the infracted myocardium. Emerging evidence supports the utility of electroconductive hydrogels (ECHs) in facilitating post-MI cardiac function recovery by restoring the conductive microenvironment of the infarcted tissue. This comprehensive review delineates the taxonomy of ECHs predicated on their constituent conductive materials. It also encapsulates prevailing research trends in ECH-mediated MI repair, encompassing innovative design paradigms and microenvironment-sensitive strategies. The review also provides a critical appraisal of various implantation techniques, underscored by a thorough examination of the attendant considerations. It elucidates the mechanistic underpinnings by which hydrogels exert salutary effects on myocardial repair, namely by augmenting mechanical and electrical integrity, exerting anti-inflammatory actions, fostering angiogenesis, and curtailing adverse remodeling processes. Furthermore, the review engages with the pressing challenge of optimizing ECH functionality to achieve superior reparative outcomes post-MI. The discourse concludes with an anticipatory perspective on the evolution of ECH scaffolds, advocating for a tailored approach that integrates multifaceted physicochemical properties to cater to the nuances of personalized medicine.
