Enhancing Cross-Linking Efficiency in Gelatin-Based Hydrogels via Incorporation of Tannic Acid, Pluronic F-127, and Phytic Acid.
Article in Polymers, 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
This study enhanced the gelatin-based hydrogel formulation by incorporating tannic acid, triblock copolymer Pluronic F-127, and phytic acid to improve its physicochemical properties. The swelling behaviour of these hydrogels was evaluated in phosphate buffer solution at selected pH levels. Morphological and thermal properties of the investigated hydrogels were analysed using scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry, and differential scanning calorimetry. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was employed to investigate the chemical structure of the optimal hydrogel. Tannic acid was recognised as a key component responsible for significant improvements in the hydrogel's overall properties, including greater swelling capacity in phosphate buffer solution, a more defined porous structure, enhanced thermal stability (with a melting point above physiological conditions), significantly increased mechanical strength, elasticity, and overall robustness, as well as stability of the hydrogel network structure. These enhancements make the gelatin-based hydrogels more suitable for biomedical applications that demand high durability.
