Harnessing biopolymeric double network hydrogels for cartilage repair: a review of current strategies.
Review in Journal of materials science. Materials in medicine, 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
Hydrogels with a double network (DN) structure that are based on carbohydrates have shown potential as scaffolds for the regeneration of cartilage. We postulate that these hydrogels can aid in the repair of cartilage and sustain the regeneration of tissue because of their ability to hold large quantities of water and large amounts of bioactive molecules. Some recent preclinical studieswith DN hydrogels that have been modified with growth factors, other biological molecules, and or therapeutic agents have shown enhanced growth of the cartilage tissue, hydration, and structural integrity of the tissue. In this review, we detail these advancements as potential carbohydrate-based double network hydrogels for the treatment of cartilage defects and osteoarthritis. Optimized DN hydrogels are tissue engineering scaffolds for cartilage regeneration, with the potential to translate to clinical practice.
