Adhesive Gelatin-Based Eutectogels: A Review of Synthesis, Properties, and Applications.
Review in Polymers, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This review presents a focused assessment of the rapidly expanding field of gelatin-based eutectogels and identifies the gaps in current literature that justify this examination. Research on deep eutectic solvents (DESs and NADES) has advanced quickly, yet there is still no integrated view of how these solvent systems influence adhesion in gelatin-based gels. Eutectogels are soft materials formed by gelling DESs or NADES with biopolymers. Gelatin is widely used because it is biocompatible, biodegradable, and readily available. We provide a clear overview of the chemistry of DESs and NADES and describe how gelatin forms networks in these media. The review summarizes established knowledge on adhesion, highlighting the contributions of polymer network density, interfacial hydrogen bonding, and solvent mobility. New perspectives are introduced on how these factors interact to control adhesion strength, toughness, and reversibility. A key topic is the role of hydrogen bond donors (HBDs) and acceptors (HBAs). They define the hydrogen bonding environment of the solvent and represent an underexplored way to tune mechanical and adhesive behavior. Examples such as moisture-resistant adhesion and temperature-responsive bonding show why these systems offer unique and adjustable properties. The review concludes by outlining major challenges, including the lack of standardized adhesion tests and constraints in scalable production, and identifying directions for future work.
