Mussel-Inspired Catechol-Functionalized Redox-Active Polypeptides for Energy Applications.
Article in Biomacromolecules, 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
Mussel-inspired, catechol-functionalized polypeptides were synthesized from natural feedstocks and investigated as redox-active organic electrode materials, to combine electrochemical performance with sustainability and cytocompatibility. Postpolymerization grafting of dopamine onto pre-established poly(α-l-glutamic acid)s resulted in low conjugation, giving poor aqueous solubility and failing to function electrochemically in initial solution-state studies. Therefore, a direct strategy was adopted, whereby the redox-active catechol functionality was embedded into the monomer, followed by ring-opening polymerization to afford a polypeptide bearing a catechol group at each repeat unit. In the solid state, WAXS revealed short-range order, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and microscale combustion calorimetry (MCC) indicated thermal stability and low flammability, and electrochemical evaluation demonstrated a quasi-reversible catechol/
