Tunable network architecture in a hydrogel with extreme vibration damping properties.
Article in Communications 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
Damping technologies aim to control the loads and deformations generated by ambient or forced vibrations in structures and machineries used in transport applications and construction. Traditionally, the materials used in damping devices are of fossil origin, but viscoelastic biobased resources are an alternative source of damping materials. Here, we develop an alginate-based hydrogel system with diverse porosity topologies by including poloxamer 407 as a sacrificial porogen at varying concentrations. Vibration transmissibility tests and dynamic mechanical analysis reveal these gels exhibit loss factors between 16% and 28% in the 100-300 Hz frequency range and that the dynamic modulus increases over an order of magnitude compared to the static modulus, reaching approximately 3 MPa. The visco- and poroelastic and pneumatic-like effects from the tunable porous structures contribute significantly to this damping effect. Furthermore, these hydrogels are biosourced and biodegradable, providing a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil-based damping materials.
