Hybrid hydrogels for biomedical applications.
Article in Current opinion in chemical engineering, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 83 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
The use of hydrogels in biomedical applications dates back multiple decades, and the engineering potential of these materials continues to grow with discoveries in chemistry and biology. The approaches have led to increasing complex hydrogels that incorporate both synthetic and natural polymers and functional domains for tunable release kinetics, mediated cell response, and ultimately use in clinical and research applications in biomedical practice. This review focuses on recent advances in hybrid hydrogels that incorporate nano/microstructures, their synthesis, and applications in biomedical research. Examples discussed include the implementation of click reactions, photopatterning, and 3D printing for the facile production of these hybrid hydrogels, the use of biological molecules and motifs to promote a desired cellular outcome, and the tailoring of kinetic and transport behavior through hybrid-hydrogel engineering to achieve desired biomedical outcomes. Recent progress in the field has established promising approaches for the development of biologically relevant hybrid hydrogel materials with potential applications in drug discovery, drug/gene delivery, and regenerative medicine.
