1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Retinal neovascular diseases, a leading cause of blindness, can be treated with intravitreal tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Injectable intravitreal depots capable of sustained TKI release for more than 6 months are highly desirable. While existing platforms utilize covalently cross-linked hydrogels for prolonged release, thermoreversible hydrogels with good injectability have been deemed unsuitable for long-duration drug delivery due to rapid erosion from weak physical cross-linking. Here, we report the first injectable supramolecular hydrogel capable of 1-year sustained TKI release, prepared by codissolving an amphiphilic thermogel with the TKI. This hydrogel achieved a 12-fold longer drug-release duration compared to commercial Pluronic-F127 thermogel, arising from strong polymer-drug interactions resulting in a distinct gel microstructure and enhanced persistence. The released TKI retained bioactivity after one year, successfully resolving choroidal neovascularization (CNV) lesions in murine models. Our findings highlight the potential of supramolecular hydrogels for ultralong drug delivery to the retina.
