Supramolecular Packing and Macroscopic Alignment Controls Actuation Speed in Macroscopic Strings of Molecular Motor Amphiphiles.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Three-dimensional organized unidirectionally aligned and responsive supramolecular structures have much potential in adaptive materials ranging from biomedical components to soft actuator systems. However, to control the supramolecular structure of these stimuli responsive, for example photoactive, materials and control their actuation remains a major challenge. Toward the design of "artificial muscles", herein, we demonstrate an approach that allows hierarchical control of the supramolecular structure, and as a consequence its photoactuation function, by electrostatic interaction between motor amphiphiles (MA) and counterions. Detailed insight into the effect of various ions on structural parameters for self-assembly from nano- to micrometer scale in water including nanofiber formation and nanofiber aggregation as well as the packing structure, degree of alignment, and actuation speed of the macroscopic MA strings prepared from various metal chlorides solution, as determined by electronic microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and actuation speed measurements, is presented. Macroscopic MA strings prepared from calcium and magnesium ions provide a high degree of alignment and fast response photoactuation. By the selection of metal ions and chain length of MAs, the macroscopic MA string structure and function can be controlled, demonstrating the potential of generating multiple photoresponsive supramolecular systems from an identical molecular structure.
