Cellulose and its potential applications in skin biology; a comprehensive review.
Review in Drug delivery and translational research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cellulose is the most abundant natural biopolymer obtained from plants, animals, and microbes. Cellulose is porous, biocompatible, biodegradable, noncytotoxic, and can retain water for a longer period. Therefore, cellulose has various applications in the medical, cosmetic, paper, and food industries. The current review summarizes the recent progress related to the application of cellulose in skin biology. Cellulose is preferable for skin biology applications due to its porosity, and hygroscopic nature that enables it to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) of native skin. Cellulose can be modified by combining with other biopolymers to make a functional cellulose composite. Researchers have developed various cellulose composites that are successfully used as wound dressing agents, scaffolds for skin tissue engineering, and vehicles for drug delivery like anticancer or other hydrophobic drugs. Cellulose-based facial masks act as a carrier for active agents like anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, and anti-acne substances. Cellulose can also be used as a stabilizer in the preparation of emulsion-based creams and other cosmetic products. It is concluded that cellulose is a suitable biopolymer in the global marketplace for skin applications, but further advancements should be made to maximize its clinical use.
