1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Transport of ions and molecules under external field gradients is fundamental phenomena relevant to many biological systems including molecular motors in nature. As inspired from such biological transport, novel optical manipulation by using local solute gradient and the creation of self-propulsive particles are being developed using this technology. In this review article, we describe the basic principles behind those transport phenomena under a temperature and a solute concentration gradient and discuss novel manipulation tools for soft biological materials. The control of such micron-scale transport will bring new insight in design principles of functional materials showing autonomous motion as seen in molecular motors.
