Application of PLCL as a biodegradable polymer in biomedical engineering.
Review in Journal of materials science. Materials in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Poly (L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) is a novel polymer that has attracted considerable attention in the biomedical field due to its exceptional biocompatibility. However, a comprehensive and systematic summary of its diverse applications remains lacking. To address this gap, the present review outlines the physicochemical properties of PLCL and the factors that influence them. Additionally, it consolidates the most commonly employed processing and preparation methods for PLCL in biomedical applications. The review further provides a systematic overview of current applications of PLCL in various biomedical fields, including wound healing, cardiovascular stents, nerve repair, osteochondral tissue engineering, drug delivery, and screening. It also examines modification strategies aimed at enhancing PLCL performance. Ultimately, this review seeks to provide valuable insights for future research and development of PLCL in biomedical contexts.
