Dimensionality matters in the collective behaviour of active emulsions.
Article in The European physical journal. E, Soft matter, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The behaviour of artificial microswimmers consisting of droplets of a mesogenic oil immersed in an aqueous surfactant solution depends qualitatively on the conditions of dimensional confinement; ranging from only transient aggregates in Hele-Shaw geometries to hexagonally packed, convection-driven clusters when sedimenting in an unconfined reservoir. We study the effects of varying the swimmer velocity, the height of the reservoir, and the buoyancy of the droplet swimmers. Two simple adjustments of the experimental setting lead to a suppression of clustering: either a decrease of the reservoir height below a certain value, or a match of the densities of droplets and surrounding phase, showing that the convection is the key mechanism for the clustering behaviour.
