1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Myocardial infarction (MI) poses a severe threat to human life and health. During acute MI, persistent myocardial ischemia and hypoxia induce pathological alterations in the microenvironment. Traditional therapeutic approaches exhibit limited capacity for targeted modulation of this infarcted microenvironment. Consequently, developing therapeutic strategies capable of precisely responding to the pathological microenvironment holds significant importance. Hydrogels, as a class of polymeric biomaterials with excellent biocompatibility, can be engineered into intelligent responsive hydrogels by incorporating environmentally responsive functional groups or constructing intelligent network architectures. These hydrogels are designed to sense and respond to key features of the MI pathological microenvironment, such as temperature, pH, reactive oxygen species, and enzyme concentrations. This review systematically summarizes the design strategies and research advances in intelligent responsive hydrogels for MI therapy over recent years, focusing on their distinct functional capabilities: alleviating oxidative damage, suppressing excessive inflammatory responses, enabling precise drug delivery, and modulating immune activity. Although current research predominantly remains at the preclinical stage and faces numerous challenges, the convergence of materials science and biomedical engineering positions smart responsive hydrogels as promising candidates to deliver innovative solutions for the precise treatment of MI.
