Mussel-Inspired Molecular Strategies for Fabricating Functional Materials With Underwater Adhesion and Self-Healing Properties.
Review in Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The exceptional underwater adhesion and self-healing capabilities of mussels have fascinated researchers for over two decades. Extensive studies have shown that these remarkable properties arise from a series of reversible and dynamic molecular interactions involving mussel foot proteins. Inspired by these molecular interaction strategies, numerous functional materials exhibiting strong underwater adhesion and self-healing performance have been successfully developed. This review systematically explores the nanomechanical mechanisms of mussel-inspired molecular interactions, mainly revealed by direct force measurement techniques such as surface forces apparatus and atomic force microscopy. The development of functional materials, including coacervates, coatings, and hydrogels, with underwater adhesion and self-healing properties, is then summarized. Furthermore, the macroscopic material performances are correlated with the underlying molecular mechanisms, providing valuable insights for the rational design of next-generation mussel-inspired functional materials with enhanced underwater adhesion and self-healing properties.
