Synthesis of hydrazine-functionalized Polyrotaxane and formation of adaptable sliding hydrogels.
Article in MethodsX, 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
This work details the synthesis and characterization of Polyrotaxane-Hydrazine (PR-Hyd), a polyethylene glycol-based polymer utilized in the formation of Adaptable Sliding Hydrogels (ASG). ASG is a viscoelastic 3D cell culture system with reversible hydrazone bonds that can be leveraged to present cells with tunable stress relaxation and mechanical plasticity. ASG builds upon our lab's previously reported Sliding Hydrogel (SG) platform which is formed via irreversible covalent crosslinking between norbornene functionalized Polyrotaxane (PR-NB) and a dithiol crosslinker. To generate PR-Hyd, we adapted and optimized the synthesis protocol for PR-NB and used proton NMR spectroscopy to quantify polymer functionality and reduce batch-to-batch variability. In addition, this work outlines our protocol for facile ASG scaffold formation using aldehyde functionalized polyethylene glycol macromers for crosslinking. Taken together, these methods enable reproducible synthesis of PR-Hyd and the fabrication of reversibly crosslinked ASG scaffolds that can be leveraged as a 3D cell niche for applications including regenerative medicine and in vitro disease modeling.•Synthesis method for Polyrotaxane-Hydrazine, a polyethylene glycol-based polymer precursor designed for forming Adaptable Sliding Hydrogels (ASG).•Characterization of polymer functionality via proton NMR spectroscopy.•Reproducible fabrication of ASG hydrogels.
