Advances in adhesive hydrogels applied for ophthalmology: An overview focused on the treatment.
Review in Theranostics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Adhesive hydrogels, composed of hydrophilic polymers arranged in a three-dimensional network, have emerged as a pivotal innovation in ophthalmology due to their ability to securely adhere to ocular tissues while providing sustained therapeutic effects. The eye, with its delicate structure and specific needs, presents unique challenges for drug delivery and tissue regeneration. This review explores the transformative potential of adhesive hydrogels in addressing these challenges across a range of ocular conditions, including corneal injuries, cataracts, glaucoma, vitreoretinal disorders, and ocular trauma. By detailing the mechanisms of polymerization and adhesion, this paper highlights how these materials can be customized for specific ophthalmic applications, offering insights into their current use and future possibilities. The emphasis is placed on the clinical significance and future directions of adhesive hydrogels in advancing ophthalmic therapy, potentially revolutionizing the treatment of complex eye diseases.
