Wrinkling-Based Patterning and Recombinant Spider Silk-Based Coating Technologies - Toward Novel Applications.
Review in Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 2026. 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
Wrinkling, formed by stress-induced energy minimization in thin polymer films, provides a reproducible method for large-area surface patterning. The resulting nano/micro topographies allow controlled spatial organization of nanomaterials for applications in sensing, optoelectronics, photocatalysis, and soft nanofabrication. The anisotropy of these wrinkled patterns can also be tuned for anti-biofouling or directional templating of biomolecules, which is crucial for hybrid bio-interfaces. Complementing this, spider silk-based surface technologies offer a flexible platform for creating biocompatible and biodegradable coatings. Recombinant spider silk protein technologies enable the modification of intrinsic protein properties (e.g., net charge) or incorporation of new functional elements (e.g., affinity peptides, enzymes). Spider silk-based coatings have been engineered for antifouling activities or to support cell adhesion and growth. In terms of biomedical applications, enhanced implant performance is feasible as well as tailored tissue engineering approaches. The synergistic combination of wrinkling and recombinant spider silk technology presents exciting opportunities for creation of surfaces with enhanced or new functionalities. For instance, spider silk wrinkled coatings can provide benefit for bioelectronics by encapsulating sensitive biomolecules within a topographically defined matrix, increasing sensitivity and specificity. This approach also offers innovations in biomedical device coatings, tissue engineering platforms (e.g., for neuronal or muscle tissue), large-scale bio-selective filtration, and switchable sustainable adhesives.
