Enzymatic Methods for Assembling and Modifying Hydrogel Biomaterials.
Article in Regenerative engineering and translational medicine, 2025. 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
Purpose: Enzymatic reactions offer many advantages for hydrogel synthesis and modification, due to their gentle reaction conditions, biocompatibility, and diversity of substrates. Methods: In this review, we examine the current body of literature through databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science. Results: Various enzyme classes have been utilized for hydrogel assembly and disassembly, including transglutaminases, oxidoreductases, transpeptidases, and proteinases. The enzymatic substrates can be readily included in peptide precursors and/or appended onto synthetic polymers. We discuss the benefits and limitations of each system, with a focus on ease of use/synthesis, accessibility, and financial considerations. Conclusion: Enzymes are frequently utilized to modify both natural and synthetic biomaterials. For developing more advanced, stimuli-responsive platforms, "biologically invisible" enzymes such as sortases should be leveraged to not interfere with native processes and/or the mammalian proteome. Lay Summary: Enzymes, proteins that act as biological catalysts, are an important tool for making and breaking down hydrogels, or water-swollen polymeric networks, for various biomedical applications. In particular, these techniques have seen great usage for modeling the tissue environment for lab-based assays.
