Unlocking the potential of microalgae-derived therapeutic carriers: Characteristics, types, and nanomedical applications.
Review in Materials today. Bio, 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
Traditional drug delivery systems are constrained by limitations such as low drug-loading efficiency, immunogenicity, and functional simplicity, rendering them inadequate to address the demands of complex pathological scenarios. Microalgae have emerged as a promising alternative system, possessing not only health benefits derived from their bioactive compounds but also inherent properties that naturally align with delivery system requirements. These advantageous characteristics include exceptional biocompatibility, easily modifiable surface properties, and photosynthetic oxygen-generating capacity. Therefore, using microalgae to develop functional natural delivery systems that combine the delivery of therapeutic substances with the regulation of body health is promising. This review provides a detailed exposition of microalgae-based delivery strategies, including the characteristics, advantages, and types of both microalgae and their derived delivery systems. Furthermore, it pays particular attention to their delivery applications in various biomedical fields, as well as the clinical progress, research gaps, and future trends. Overall, microalgae have great potential for the development of natural delivery systems that promote organismal health and enhance biological functionality. In the future, the integration of emerging biosensing and nanotechnologies with microalgae platforms holds great promise for advancing next-generation therapeutic delivery systems with intelligent responsiveness, precise targeting, and personalized treatment capabilities.
