Scoping Review of the Biomedical Investigations of Cellulose Nanocrystal-Based Hydrogels: A Critical Analysis of Current Evidence, Research Gaps and Future Perspectives.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hydrogel-based products are used in many areas of biomedicine and healthcare. Recently, the incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), a renewable and functional nanomaterial, into hydrogels has enhanced their functionality, particularly by imparting mechanical strength and structural integrity. This scoping review aims to appraise the types of biomedical models and assays that have been utilised to investigate the effects of CNC incorporation into hydrogels in tissue engineering, wound healing, medical implantation and drug delivery applications, and reports on the rationale for including these models and assays. A structured literature search was undertaken in major scientific databases (PubMed Central, PubMed, BioMed Central, ScienceDirect, Wiley and EBSCOhost), focusing on identifying primary research published between 2016 and 2024. From this process, fifteen studies providing biomedical analyses met the inclusion criteria. Most of these investigations employed in vitro cell-line models (
