Polymer chemistry at the living-material interface.
Review in Chemical science, 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
Engineered living materials (ELMs) integrate living functionalities into synthetic materials. Although most ELM studies emphasize cellular functionality, the polymer matrix represents an equally powerful design space: not merely a passive scaffold but a primary tool for programming living material behavior. Synthetic polymers can be designed to tune bulk mechanical properties, mediate dynamic responses, enforce biocontainment, and bridge biological and synthetic domains through engineered polymer-cell interfaces. This Perspective establishes key design principles that emerge when polymer chemistry and living cells are treated as an integrated system, emphasizing how molecular control over the living-material interface governs the mechanical, functional, and dynamic properties of next-generation biohybrid and biocomposite materials.
