Revisiting the adhesion mechanism of mussel-inspired chemistry.
Article in Chemical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Mussel-inspired chemistry has become an ideal platform to engineer a myriad of functional materials, but fully understanding the underlying adhesion mechanism is still missing. Particularly, one of the most pivotal questions is whether catechol still plays a dominant role in molecular-scale adhesion like that in mussel adhesive proteins. Herein, for the first time, we reveal an unexplored adhesion mechanism of mussel-inspired chemistry that is strongly dictated by 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) moieties, amending the conventional viewpoint of catechol-dominated adhesion. We demonstrate that polydopamine (PDA) delivers an unprecedented adhesion of 71.62 mN m
