Localized Nanoscale Heating Leads to Ultrafast Hydrogel Volume-Phase Transition.
Article in ACS nano, 2019. 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
The rate of the volume-phase transition for stimuli-responsive hydrogel particles ranging in size from millimeters to nanometers is limited by the rate of water transport, which is proportional to the surface area of the particle. Here, we hypothesized that the rate of volume-phase transition could be accelerated if the stimulus is geometrically controlled from the inside out, thus facilitating outward water ejection. To test this concept, we applied transient absorption spectroscopy, laser temperature-jump spectroscopy, and finite-element analysis modeling to characterize the dynamics of the volume-phase transition of hydrogel particles with a gold nanorod core. Our results demonstrate that the nanoscale heating of the hydrogel particle core led to an ultrafast, 60 ns particle collapse, which is 2-3 orders of magnitude faster than the response generated from conventional heating. This is the fastest recorded response time of a hydrogel material, thus opening potential applications for such stimuli-responsive materials.
