Bioinspired Dopamine/Mucin Coatings Provide Lubricity, Wear Protection, and Cell-Repellent Properties for Medical Applications.
Article in Advanced healthcare materials, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Even though medical devices have improved a lot over the past decades, there are still issues regarding their anti-biofouling properties and tribological performance, and both aspects contribute to the short- and long-term failure of these devices. Coating these devices with a biocompatible layer that reduces friction, wear, and biofouling at the same time would be a promising strategy to address these issues. Inspired by the adhesion mechanism employed by mussels, here, dopamine is made use of to immobilize lubricious mucin macromolecules onto both manufactured commercial materials and real medical devices. It is shown that purified mucins successfully adsorb onto a dopamine pre-coated substrate, and that this double-layer is stable toward mechanical challenges and storage in aqueous solutions. Moreover, the results indicate that the dopamine/mucin double-layer decreases friction (especially in the boundary lubrication regime), reduces wear damage, and provides anti-biofouling properties. The results obtained in this study show that such dopamine/mucin double-layer coatings can be powerful candidates for improving the surface properties of medical devices such as catheters, stents, and blood vessel substitutes.
