Dynamic Regulation of Granular Hydrogels Through Guest-Host Interactions to Spatiotemporally Guide Cellular Migration.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. 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
Cell migration plays a crucial role in the dynamic processes that guide tissue development, regeneration, and repair; yet, developing cell culture platforms that allow control over cell migration in 3D space and time remains a challenge. Here, a strategy is presented using chemically-responsive granular hydrogels to enable dynamic control over 3D cell migration. Dynamic microgels are fabricated via hyaluronic acid crosslinked via reversible guest-host interactions between adamantane (guest) and β-cyclodextrin (host), which swell in the presence of a cytocompatible competitive guest molecule (adamantane carboxylic acid, Ad-COOH) and de-swell when Ad-COOH is removed. When formed into granular hydrogels, the addition of Ad-COOH results in a dynamic porous material with reduced microgel stiffness and increased pore size. Ad-COOH addition also results in the reduction of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) migration from embedded aggregates (spheroids); however, MSC migration returns when Ad-COOH is removed. Furthermore, suspension bioprinting of jammed spheroids into dynamic granular hydrogels results in 4D printed constructs with patterned cellular regions (e.g., lines, zigzags, spirals) where cellular egress is controlled over time through the presence of Ad-COOH to create distinct spatiotemporal cellular patterns. This platform offers precise, on-demand modulation of cell migration, enabling new opportunities to fabricate dynamic, complex engineered tissues.
