Recent Advancements in Sodium Alginate-Based Hydrogels Combined with Magnetic Nanoparticles for Biological Applications: A Review.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 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
The emergence of organic-inorganic hybrid composites integrating magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with polymers has been an important advancement in modern biological research. Among these systems, magnetic sodium alginate (SA)-based hydrogels (MSABHs), produced by embedding MNPs within an SA framework, exhibit remarkable potential for biomedical applications owing to their high biocompatibility, rapid magnetic response, controllable spatiotemporal behavior, and remote, non-invasive operation. Under the influence of an alternating magnetic field (AMF), MSABHs can exhibit various responses, including deformation, motion, and thermal generation, which are highly valuable for diagnostic and therapeutic medical applications. This review first outlines the key studies on SA and MNPs, along with the various synthesis routes used to fabricate MSABHs. Subsequently, the discussion primarily focuses on their versatile biomedical applications, including tissue engineering, targeted drug delivery, thermotherapy, imaging, and micro-robotics, followed by an evaluation of current challenges and prospects for future improvement. Through this comprehensive examination and synthesis, the review aims to further reveal the full potential of MSABHs and broaden their applications in the biological domain.
