Stimuli-Responsive DNA Hydrogel Design Strategies for Biomedical Applications.
Review in Biosensors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Hydrogels are three-dimensional network structures composed of hydrophilic polymers that can swell in water and are very similar to soft tissues such as connective tissue or the extracellular matrix. DNA hydrogels are particularly notable for biomedical applications due to their high biocompatibility, physiological stability, molecular recognition, biodegradability, easy functionalization, and low immunogenicity. Based on these advantages, stimuli-responsive DNA hydrogels that have the property of reversibly changing their structure in response to various microenvironments or molecules are attracting attention as smart nanomaterials that can be applied to biosensing and material transfer, such as in the case of cells and drugs. As DNA nanotechnology advances, DNA can be hybridized with a variety of nanomaterials, from inorganic nanomaterials such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and quantum dots (QDs) to synthetic polymers such as polyacrylamide (PAAm) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM). These hybrid structures exhibit various optical and chemical properties. This review discusses recent advances and remaining challenges in biomedical applications of stimuli-responsive smart DNA hydrogel-based systems. It also highlights various types of hybridized DNA hydrogel, explores various response mechanism strategies of stimuli-responsive DNA hydrogel, and provides insights and prospects for biomedical applications such as biosensing and drug delivery.
