3D printed gyroid scaffolds enabling strong and thermally insulating mycelium-bound composites for greener infrastructures.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Mycelium-bound composites (MBCs) grown from fungi onto solid lignocellulosic substrates offer a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based materials. However, their limited mechanical strength and durability are often insufficient for practical applications. In this work, we report a method for designing and developing strong and thermally insulating MBCs. The method grows mycelium onto 3D-printed stiff wood-Polylactic Acid (PLA) porous gyroid scaffolds, enhancing the strength of the scaffold while imparting other functional properties like thermal insulation, fire resistance, hydrophobicity, and durability. The extent of improvement in MBCs' performance is directly dependent on the mycelium growth, and the best growth is observed at 90% porosity. We observe yield strength (σ
