Light-microgel interaction in resonant nanostructures.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Combination of responsive microgels and photonic resonant nanostructures represents an intriguing technological tool for realizing tunable and reconfigurable platforms, especially useful for biochemical sensing applications. Interaction of light with microgel particles during their swelling/shrinking dynamics is not trivial because of the inverse relationships between their size and refractive index. In this work, we propose a reliable analytical model describing the optical properties of closed-packed assembly of surface-attached microgels, as a function of the external stimulus applied. The relationships between the refractive index and thickness of the equivalent microgel slab are derived from experimental observations based on conventional morphological analysis. The model is first validated in the case of temperature responsive microgels integrated on a plasmonic lab-on-fiber optrode, and also implemented in the same case study for an optical responsivity optimization problem. Overall, our model can be extended to other photonic platforms and different kind of microgels, independently from the nature of the stimulus inducing their swelling.
