Biocompatible Glues: Recent Progress and Emerging Frontiers in Surgical Adhesion.
Review in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Surgical adhesives and glues have gained significant attention in the medical field due to their potential to replace traditional sutures and staples in various surgical applications. This review explores the evolution of biocompatible adhesives, focusing on their chemical composition, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. We discuss the key challenges in developing these materials, including their adhesive strength, degradation rate, and tissue compatibility. The article also delves into regulatory frameworks governing their use in clinical settings and highlights the ongoing innovations aimed at enhancing their performance and safety. Finally, the review examines the current trends in the development of next-generation surgical adhesives, with an emphasis on environmentally friendly and bioresorbable options. The importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in advancing these materials for clinical use is also underscored.
