Recent Advances and Sustainability Perspectives of Biobased Wood Panel Adhesives: Toward Cleaner and Formaldehyde-Free Wood Products.
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
Biobased wood adhesives are essential to reducing the dependence of wood-based panels on petrochemical and formaldehyde-emitting resins. This review critically synthesizes recent progress in lignin-, tannin-, starch-, furan/HMF-, organic acid-, and soy protein-based adhesive systems, with emphasis on chemical reactivity, curing mechanisms, water resistance, processability, and industrial relevance. The discussion distinguishes laboratory performance from industrial feasibility by considering specific press time, solids content, viscosity, raw material variability, emissions, cost, life-cycle performance, and compatibility with particleboard, medium-density fibreboard, plywood, and related engineered wood products. Lignin and tannins are highlighted as the most chemically compatible phenolic platforms, starch and soy systems as abundant but moisture-sensitive binders requiring targeted crosslinking, HMF and furan derivatives as promising aldehyde-type formaldehyde-free crosslinkers, and citric acid systems as attractive polyester-forming binders with pressing-temperature limitations. The review concludes that near-term adoption will most likely proceed through hybrid and partially biobased systems, whereas fully biobased adhesives require faster curing, standardized feedstocks, pilot-scale validation, and transparent techno-economic and life-cycle assessment.
