1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Extreme biomimetics represents a novel multidisciplinary direction within classical biomimetics and bioinspired materials science that draws inspiration from extremophiles and extreme natural habitats to create unusual approaches for the design of next-generation materials, including composites never reported or predicted before. This review is divided into several sections covering achievements and fundamental challenges in the following fields: sources of inspiration-organisms and locations; biological materials for extreme biomimetics based on examples of biosilica, cellulose, chitin, and structural proteins (collagen, byssus, silk, keratin). Additionally, conchixes of molluscan shell origin, fish scales, and spongin as a skeletal biocomposite of industrial sponge origin are represented and discussed from the viewpoint of extreme biomimetics. Finally, scientifically based but daring experimental decisions in modern extreme biomimetics, taking the examples of extreme carbonization of naturally pre-structured biomaterials, galvanobiomimetics, in-flame biomimetics, pyro-biomimetics, and ultra-high pressure mimetics are represented for the first time as current trends with challenging goals.
