High-Performance Sunlight-Induced Polymerized Hydrogels and Applications in 3D and 4D Printing.
Article in Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 2025. 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
Currently, there are only few reports on water-soluble photoinitiating systems. In this study, a highly water-soluble organic dye i.e. sodium (E)-3,3'-((4-(2-(3-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-3-ium-2-yl)vinyl)phenyl)azanediyl)dipropionate iodide, was synthesized and served as a photoinitiator. Notably, this water-soluble initiator, at a low concentration of just 0.01 wt%, demonstrates a high photoinitiation ability, with some hydrogel formulations achieving nearly 100% double bond conversion under sunlight. Photopolymerization kinetics were monitored using Real-Time Fourier Transform Infrared. To explore the complex chemical principles of radical polymerization, UV-visible absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, steady-state photolysis, fluorescence quenching experiments and cyclic voltammetry were employed to gain a comprehensive understanding of the photochemical mechanism involved. Additionally, several characteristics of the synthesized hydrogels were also investigated i.e. the water content, the water swelling, and the volume swelling. In addition to their excellent photoinitiation capabilities, the hydrogel formulations developed in this study also supported 3D printing. 3D objects with smooth surface and a high spatial resolution could be successfully printed using direct laser writing. The fabricated hydrogels could reversibly change of shape in response to water (adding or removing water), enabling successful 4D printing behavior. Furthermore, the efficient photoinitiation ability of the water-soluble formulations opens new avenues for sunlight-polymerized hydrogels and potential applications in bioprinting.
