Biomaterial Strategies for Three-Dimensional Bioprinting and Drug Delivery Application.
Review in Materials (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
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has rapidly evolved into a controlling platform for the fabrication of patient-specific biomedical implants, with growing importance in advanced drug delivery systems. Beyond structural tissue engineering, bioprinted constructs now function as programmable therapeutic depots capable of localized, sustained, and stimuli-responsive drug release. This review focuses on recent biomaterial design strategies that enable precise control over drug encapsulation, retention, and release kinetics within 3D bioprinted architectures. The physicochemical and mechanical properties of bioinks, including crosslinking density, porosity, degradation behavior, viscoelasticity, and swelling characteristics, directly influence drug loading efficiency and release dynamics under physiological conditions. The rational tuning of these parameters allows the development of constructs that provide spatially controlled and temporally regulated therapeutic delivery. Recent advances in predictive modeling, such as finite element modeling (FEM), data-driven machine learning approaches, and ML, have significantly improved the ability to correlate material composition, printing parameters, and structural geometry with drug diffusion and degradation-mediated release mechanisms. These tools facilitate the optimization of printing variables including extrusion pressure, nozzle diameter, and layer resolution to ensure structural fidelity while maintaining therapeutic functionality. Emerging strategies incorporating multi-material printing, gradient architectures, and stimuli-responsive biomaterials have expanded the potential of 3D bioprinting for combination therapies and personalized medicine. This review discusses key challenges in translating bioprinted drug delivery systems into clinical applications, including the standardization of drug release characterization methods, and long-term stability assessment.
