Superfast Gelation of Spider Silk-Based Artificial Silk Protein.
Article in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Spider silk proteins (spidroins) have garnered attention in biomaterials research due to their ability to self-assemble into hydrogels. However, reported spidroin hydrogels require high protein concentration and prolonged gelation time. Our study engineered an artificial spidroin that exhibits unprecedented rapid self-assembly into hydrogels at physiologically relevant conditions, achieving gelation at a low concentration of 6 mg/mL at 37 °C without external additives. Remarkably, at a 30 mg/mL concentration, our engineered protein forms hydrogels within 30 s, a feature we termed "superfast gelation". This rapid formation is modulated by ions, pH, and temperature, offering versatility in biomedical applications. The hydrogel's capacity to encapsulate proteins and support
