Bioinspired Metastable Transient Peeling for Repeatable Rapid Release.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 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
Reversible adhesives must hold securely yet release quickly, but conventional designs regulate adhesion only in the strength domain, leaving holding and release in direct conflict. This trade-off limits damage-free handling of ultrathin, brittle materials such as silicon wafers. Inspired by the explosive seed ejection of the squirting cucumber (Ecballium elaterium), we introduce metastable transient peeling (MTP), which regulates when stored interfacial energy is released. A preload establishes a metastable contact with a tunable energy barrier, and a minute perturbation then triggers self-accelerated, edge-synchronous peeling; a four-parameter mechanics framework links material and operating variables to performance. A viscoelastic hemispherical gripper releases within 52 ms, retains over 85% of its release performance after 300 000 cycles, and performs 10 000 damage-free pick-up, transfer, and release operations on 45-µm-thick silicon wafers while remaining operative at 10 Pa. MTP establishes temporal-domain control as a route to fast, clean, repeatable release.
