Advancements in GelMA bioactive hydrogels: Strategies for infection control and bone tissue regeneration.
Review in Theranostics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Infectious bone defects present a significant clinical challenge, characterized by infection, inflammation, and subsequent bone tissue destruction. Traditional treatments, including antibiotic therapy, surgical debridement, and bone grafting, often fail to address these defects effectively. However, recent advancements in biomaterials research have introduced innovative solutions for managing infectious bone defects. GelMA, a three-dimensional network of hydrophilic polymers that can absorb and retain substantial amounts of water, has attracted considerable attention in the fields of materials science and biomedical engineering. Its distinctive properties, such as biocompatibility, responsiveness to stimuli, and customisable mechanical characteristics make GelMA an exemplary scaffold material for bone tissue engineering. This review aims to thoroughly explore the current literature on antibacterial and osteogenic strategies using GelMA hydrogels for the restoration of infected bones. It discusses their fabrication methods, biocompatibility, antibacterial effectiveness, and bioactivity. We conclude by discussing the existing challenges and future research directions in this field, with the hope of inspiring further innovations in the synthesis, modification, and application of GelMA-based hydrogels for infection control and bone tissue regeneration.
