Localized Cancer Treatment Using Thiol-Ene Hydrogels for Dual Drug Delivery.
Article in Biomacromolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Combinatorial cancer therapy benefits from injectable hydrogels for localized, controlled drug delivery. This study presents a thiol-ene conjugated hydrogel formed by cross-linking thiol-modified hyaluronic acid (HASH) with vinyl sulfone-modified β-cyclodextrin (CDVS). Four formulations (23Gel-16, 23Gel-33, 99Gel-16, 99Gel-33) were synthesized by varying HASH molecular weight (23 or 99 kDa) and CDVS modification (16% or 33%). Rheological analysis confirmed enhanced viscoelasticity with increasing molecular weight and modification (99Gel-33 > 99Gel-16 > 23Gel-33 > 23Gel-16). The system enabled combinatorial delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) and carvacrol (CRV), exhibiting tumor-responsive degradation and tunable release. DOX release accelerated under tumor-mimicking conditions (100% in 46 h vs 58.7% in PBS), while CRV showed an initial burst followed by sustained release. The hydrogel promoted mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and effectively inhibited triple-negative breast cancer cells. This injectable, tumor-responsive hydrogel system offers a promising platform for minimally invasive, personalized cancer therapy.
