Artificial colloidal liquid metacrystals by shearing microlithography.
Article in Nature communications, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Meta-periodicity beyond intrinsic atomic and molecular order, such as metacrystalline and quasicrystalline lattices, exists in solids, but is usually elusive in lyotropic liquid crystals for its energetic instability. The stable meta-periodicity in lyotropic liquid crystals in the absence of external stimuli remains unexplored, and how to achieve it keeps a great challenge. Here we create lyotropic liquid crystals with stable meta-periodicity in a free state, coined as liquid metacrystals, in colloidal systems by an invented shearing microlithography. The meta-periodicity is dynamically stabilized by the giant molecular size and strong excluded volume repulsion. Liquid metacrystals are designed to completely cover a library of symmetries, including five Bravais and six quasicrystalline lattices. Liquid metacrystal promises an extended form of liquid crystals with rich meta-periodicity and the shearing microlithography emerges as a facile technology to fabricate liquid meta-structures and metamaterials, enabling the digital design of structures and functionalities of liquid crystalline materials.
