Salt-Compact Albumin as a New Pure Protein-based Biomaterials: From Design to In Vivo Studies.
Article in Advanced healthcare materials, 2025. 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
Current biodegradable materials are facing many challenges when used for the design of implantable devices because of shortcomings such as toxicity of crosslinking agents and degradation derivatives, limited cell adhesion, and limited immunological compatibility. Here, a class of materials built entirely of stable protein is designed using a simple protocol based on salt-assisted compaction of albumin, breaking with current crosslinking strategies. Salt-assisted compaction is based on the assembly of albumin in the presence of high concentrations of specific salts such as sodium bromide. This process leads, surprisingly, to water-insoluble handable materials with high preservation of their native protein structures and Young's modulus close to that of cartilage (0.86 MPa). Furthermore, these materials are non-cytotoxic, non-inflammatory, and in vivo implantations (using models of mice and rabbits) demonstrate a very slow degradation rate of the material with excellent biocompatibility and absence of systemic inflammation and implant failure. Therefore, these materials constitute promising candidates for the design of biodegradable scaffolds and drug delivery systems as an alternative to conventional synthetic degradable polyester materials.
