Preparation of hydrogel microsphere and its application in articular cartilage injury.
Review in Materials today. Bio, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
In recent years, hydrogel microspheres have garnered significant attention due to their unique structure and functionality, demonstrating substantial potential in articular cartilage injury repair. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of current strategies for cartilage injury repair and summarizes the materials and preparation methods of hydrogel microspheres. Furthermore, it highlights the multiple roles of hydrogel microspheres in cartilage repair, including inflammation control, regulation of chondrocyte metabolism, drug and cell delivery, lubrication improvement, and recruitment of endogenous stem cells. Finally, the paper discusses the application prospects of hydrogel microspheres, identifies current limitations and challenges, and offers insights to guide future research and practical applications in cartilage injury repair.
