A Wearable Focused Ultrasound Device for Sonogenetics in Freely Moving Mice.
Article in IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, 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
Sonogenetics, which utilizes ultrasound to modulate the activity of neurons expressing ultrasound-sensitive actuators, has emerged as a promising approach for implant-free, cell-type-specific neuromodulation. However, wearable transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) devices are needed to enable sonogenetic neuromodulation in freely moving mice, thereby facilitating the study of naturalistic behavioral responses with minimal physical constraints. To address this need, we present a fully validated protocol for the design, fabrication, and characterization of a wearable tFUS device. Our protocol details the selection of piezoelectric material, transducer fabrication and calibration, and installation of the device on the mouse head. We also provide a detailed protocol for using this tFUS device for performing sonogenetics in freely moving mice. The device's efficacy in sonogenetic neuromodulation has been demonstrated in our previously published studies. The device can be used in a broad range of applications, including ultrasound neuromodulation (without genetics). All design files and accompanying software are freely available as open-source resources. This protocol is intended to lower the barrier to entry and facilitate the broader adoption of tFUS techniques in neuroscience research.
