Limpet-Inspired Multifunctional Composite Fibers with Exceptional Mechanical Performance From Self-Assembled Aramid Nanofibers.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Aramid nanofibers (ANFs) have emerged as promising building blocks for bioinspired materials due to their exceptional mechanical strength and chemical stability. However, their widespread application has been hindered by the limitations of conventional top-down synthesis from Kevlar, which is costly, inefficient, and offers limited control over molecular structure. Addressing this challenge, a cost-effective, bottom-up strategy is reported to fabricate limpet-inspired composite fibers by combining the self-assembly of ANFs from poly(paraphenylene terephthalamide) polyanions with in situ iron oxide mineralization. This approach enables spontaneous co-alignment of ANFs and β-FeOOH nanowhiskers, emulating the hierarchical architecture of limpet teeth. Guided by hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking, self-assembly regulates nanoscale ordering, crystallinity, and interfacial interactions-critical for enhancing mechanical performance. The resulting fibers exhibit an ultimate strength of 1.8 GPa, modulus of 42.7 GPa, and toughness of 336 MJ m
