Research Progress of Sodium Alginate-Based Hydrogels in Biomedical Engineering.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Sodium alginate, a widely available and high-performance natural polymer, exhibits significant potential for applications in the biomedical field due to its excellent biocompatibility and versatile functionalization capabilities. This review systematically elucidates the fundamental properties and preparation methods of sodium alginate-based hydrogels, analyzing recent advancements in optimizing their mechanical properties, functionalization, and biological characteristics through strategies such as composite material construction, nano-reinforcement, and dynamic crosslinking. Furthermore, it summarizes the multifunctional applications of sodium alginate-based hydrogels in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensing while addressing challenges in practical applications, including insufficient mechanical strength, regulating degradation rates, and maintaining stability in complex biological environments. To overcome these challenges, future research directions are proposed, including performance optimization, intelligent design, novel preparation techniques, and interdisciplinary collaboration, to facilitate the comprehensive transition of sodium alginate hydrogels from laboratory research to clinical applications. This review aims to provide a theoretical foundation and technical support for the fundamental research and biomedical applications of sodium alginate hydrogels while highlighting their promising prospects in addressing complex medical challenges.
