Bio-Based Wood Adhesives: Current Advances in Polymer Architecture and Structure-Property-Sustainability Integration.
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
The development of bio-based adhesives has emerged as a viable strategy to reduce fossil-derived resin consumption in wood and wood-based panel applications. This review provides a polymer-focused assessment of adhesive systems derived from proteins, carbohydrates, lignin, and tannins, emphasizing molecular architecture, crosslinking chemistry, interfacial interactions, and structure-property relationships. Adhesive performance is primarily dictated by functional group density, crosslinking efficiency, and network topology. Protein-based adhesives rely on hydrogen bonding and covalent crosslinking with lignocellulosic substrates but require structural modification to improve hydrothermal stability. Carbohydrate-based systems, including starch and cellulose derivatives, offer reactive hydroxyl functionalities that enable oxidation, esterification, and etherification pathways for enhanced network formation. Lignin and tannins, characterized by phenolic and aromatic structures, facilitate condensation reactions and enable partial substitution of phenol in thermosetting resins, supporting low-formaldehyde or formaldehyde-free formulations. Hybrid polymer networks, particularly protein-carbohydrate and lignin-modified systems, demonstrate improved crosslink density, reduced hydrophilicity, and enhanced mechanical performance. Life cycle analyses indicate that increasing biogenic carbon content and minimizing fossil-based cross-linkers can lower global warming potential (GWP) and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Overall, a structure-property-sustainability framework is proposed to guide molecular design and performance optimization of next-generation bio-based wood adhesives.
