Tailoring Polymersome Shape Using the Hofmeister Effect.
Article in Biomacromolecules, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Reshaping polymersomes remains a challenge for both size and shape control, methodology development, and mechanism understanding, which hindered their application in nanomedicine and nanomachine. Unlike liposome, polymersomes are capable of maintaining their shape due to their rigid and glassy membrane. Here we use the Hofmeister effect to guide the shape control of polymersome by tuning the ion type and concentration. Multiple morphologies such as ellipsoid, tube, disc, stomatocytes, and large compound vesicles are found. These results give evidence of demonstrating that the shape changes are not only induced by osmotic pressure, but also by the interaction with the polymersome membranes. Additionally, this methodology provides a general tool to tailor the shape of polymersome into various morphologies.
