Innovative Applications of Marine Macroalgae Polysaccharides in Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery: A Review Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background and Aims: Marine macroalgae are abundant sources of bioactive polysaccharides-including alginate, fucoidan, ulvan, carrageenan, and agarose-widely recognized for extensive biomedical applications. These polysaccharides exhibit remarkable biological properties, such as immunostimulatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory effects, while maintaining low toxicity. Methods: A systematic literature review identified 281 studies examining sulfated polysaccharides derived from marine algae and their implementation in bioengineering fields, including tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. Results: Marine-derived polysaccharides exhibit biocompatibility, biodegradability, and multifunctionality, making them highly suitable for developing hydrogels, nanoparticles, microspheres, and other biomaterial platforms. Their inherent structural diversity supports targeted modification for enhanced mechanical stability, drug release kinetics, and cellular interactions. Conclusion: Polysaccharides extracted from marine macroalgae represent a versatile resource for developing biomaterials in tissue engineering and drug delivery. Their multifunctional properties and adaptability position them as key materials in advancing biomedical research and addressing complex healthcare needs.
