Kinetics of motile solitons in nematic liquid crystals.
Article in Nature communications, 2020. 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
The generation of spatially localized, soliton-like hydrodynamic disturbances in microscale fluidic systems is an intriguing challenge. Herein, we introduce nonequilibrium solitons in nematic liquid crystals stimulated by an electric field. These dynamic solitons are robust as long as the electric field is maintained. Interestingly, their kinetic behaviours depend on the field condition-Tuning of the amplitude and frequency of the applied electric field alters the solitons to self-assemble into lattice ordering like physical particles or to command them to various dynamic states. Our key property to the realisation is the electrohydrodynamic instability due to the coupling between the fluid elasticity and the background convection. This paper describes a new mechanism for realising dynamic solitons in fluid systems on the basis of the electrohydrodynamic phenomena.
