Hydrogel-based ocular drug delivery systems: Emerging fabrication strategies, applications, and bench-to-bedside manufacturing considerations.
Review in Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 65 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The physiological barriers of the eye pose challenges to the delivery of the array of therapeutics for ocular diseases. Hydrogels have been widely explored for medical applications and introduce possible solutions to overcoming the medication challenges of the ocular environment. While the innovations in drug encapsulation and release mechanisms, biocompatibility, and treatment duration have become highly sophisticated, the challenge of widespread application of hydrogel formulations in the clinic is still apparent. This article reviews the latest hydrogel formulations and their associated chemistries for use in ocular therapies, spanning from external anterior to internal posterior regions of the eye in order to evaluate the state of recent research. This article discusses the utility of hydrogels in soft contact lens, wound dressings, intraocular lens, vitreous substitutes, vitreous drug release hydrogels, and cell-based therapies for regeneration. Additional focus is placed on the pre-formulation, formulation, and manufacturing considerations of the hydrogels based on individual components (polymer chains, linkers, and therapeutics), final hydrogel product, and required preparations for clinical/commercial applications, respectively.
