Recent Advances in Barnacle-Inspired Biomaterials in the Field of Biomedical Research.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
As a marine fouling organism, barnacles secrete a cement whose proteins self-assemble into stable nanofibers, conferring exceptional underwater adhesion and curing properties. The barnacle cement proteins (BCPs) are of significant interest in biomedicine due to their adhesiveness, water resistance, stability, and biocompatibility, making them ideal for developing novel biomaterials. Additionally, BCPs have wound-healing acceleration and antibacterial properties, offering new insights for antimicrobial biomaterial development. Recently, barnacle-inspired materials have seen extensive research and notable progress in biomedicine. As the understanding of barnacle cement and its adhesion mechanisms deepens, their medical applications are expected to expand. This review summarizes the latest advancements of barnacle biomimetic materials in biomedicine, including their use in adhesives, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and hemostasis, highlighting their characteristics, applications, and potential research directions, and providing a comprehensive reference for the field.
