Low-intensity focused ultrasound-activated piezoelectric gel bandage for diabetic wound repair and neuropathic pain relief.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Nociceptive hypersensitivity and prolonged wound healing due to the interaction of peripheral neuropathy and local immune disorders are key issues that need to be addressed in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) regenerative repair. Here, we present a low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU)-activated piezoelectric gel bandage for DFU wound repair and neuropathic pain relief. Acting as an artificial "skin", this self-powered, functionalized bandage not only temporarily shields tissue from external environment, but also serves as a drug reservoir that can in situ release nitric oxide upon LIFU to promote macrophage polarization, generate piezoelectric current to desensitize TRPV1 nociceptor for on demand neuropathic pain relief and produce reactive oxygen species to eliminate pathogens in male rodents. More importantly, this regimen can promote CGRP neuropeptides release from sensory neurons to invigorate M2-like macrophages-mediated protective cutaneous immunity. This LIFU-activated immune-nociceptor modulation strategy is potentially applicable to other non-healing tissue regeneration.
