High-Performance Bio-Glue From the Berries of a Parasitic Plant.
Article in Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.), 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
Most commercial adhesives are still petroleum-based. Despite extensive efforts to develop sustainable alternatives, bio-based adhesives often require chemical modification of their components, or they fail to achieve rapid, high-performance bonding. Here, we report a fully bio-based adhesive derived primarily from a (poly)saccharide extract obtained from the berries of the hemi-parasitic plant mistletoe (Viscum album). This (poly)saccharide extract is supplemented with tannic and malic acid without any further chemical functionalization. Through a combination of heat-treatment and rapid curing, the developed adhesive exhibits remarkable bonding strength across diverse substrates-including various types of wood and metal, glass, and polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon)-and under various conditions. Furthermore, if samples are separated by force, the remaining adhesive layers can be reactivated via heat-treatment to allow for efficient re-bonding of the adherends. The fully bio-based formulation not only enables multiple repair cycles but also valorizes a parasitic plant, thereby serving as an eco-friendly, high-performance alternative to petroleum-derived adhesives.
