Chemically Active Particles: From One to Few on the Way to Many.
Article in Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Chemically active particles suspended in a liquid solution can achieve self-motility by locally changing the chemical composition of the solution via catalytic reactions at their surfaces. They operate intrinsically out of equilibrium, continuously extracting free energy from the environment to power the dissipative self-motility. The effective interactions involving active particles are, in general, nonreciprocal and anisotropic, even if the particles have simple shapes (e.g., Janus spheres). Accordingly, for chemically active particles a very rich behavior of collective motion and self-assembly may be expected to emerge, including phenomena such as microphase separation in the form of kinetically stable, finite-sized aggregates. Here, I succinctly review a number of recent experimental studies that demonstrate the self-assembly of structures, involving chemically active Janus particles, which exhibit various patterns of motion. These examples illustrate concepts such as "motors made out of motors" (as suggestively named by Fischer [Fischer, P.
