Formation of Blood Droplets: Influence of the Plasma Proteins.
Article in ACS omega, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Blood is a complex multiphase fluid exhibiting pronounced shear-thinning and viscoelastic behavior. By studying the formation of blood droplets through simple dripping, we observe blood-drop detachment following a neck formation and subsequent thinning until breakup, similar to that of other liquids. Our experimental findings reveal that it exhibits two distinct modes of neck evolution characteristics; one mode corresponds to incessant collapsing of the liquid neck, whereas the other mode correlates thinning of an extended long thread leading to the breakup. We show that the two modes of neck evolution closely follow the theory of pinch-off for shear-thinning and viscoelastic fluids independent of hematocrit concentration in the range of healthy individuals. Furthermore, we observe that the relaxation time scales are very similar to that of plasma; this explains the key role of plasma proteins to blood rheology. We envision that our results are likely to bear far-reaching implications in understanding the contribution of plasma proteins to the rheology of blood and theory of drop formation of complex non-Newtonian fluids.
