Macroscopic assembly of supramolecular coacervates for underwater adhesion.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Achieving rapid, durable, and recyclable underwater adhesion has long presented significant challenges, complicated by hydration layers, slow curing processes, and environmental concerns linked to traditional adhesives. In this work, we introduce an underwater adhesive based on supramolecular ionic liquids, whose functional performance arises from solvent-exchange-mediated self-assembly. By utilizing the Marangoni effect alongside dynamic non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, and electrostatic interactions, we attain fast underwater adhesion with high strength and long-term stability, while ensuring excellent recyclability. Marangoni flow not only speeds up supramolecular aggregation but also effectively penetrates hydration layers, enabling close contact with submerged substrate surfaces. Spectroscopic and theoretical analyses reveal the development of reversible non-covalent networks and guided molecular rearrangements during solvent exchange. This research combines supramolecular chemistry and macroscopic interfacial science to advance adaptive materials with customizable adhesion capabilities.
