Tunable thermal diffusivity of silk protein assemblies based on their structural control and photo-induced chemical cross-linking.
Article in RSC advances, 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
Silk, which has excellent mechanical properties and is lightweight, serves as a structural material in natural systems. However, the structural and functional applications of silk in artificial systems have been limited due to the difficulty in controlling its properties. In this study, we demonstrate the tunable thermal diffusivity of silk-based assemblies (films) based on secondary structural control and subsequent cross-linking. We found that the thermal diffusivity of the silk film is increased by the formation of β-sheet structures and dityrosine between Tyr residues adjacent to the β-sheet structures. Our results demonstrate the applicability of silk proteins as material components for thermally conductive biopolymer-based materials.
