Long-distance optical pulling of nanoparticle in a low index cavity using a single plane wave.
Article in Science advances, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Optical pulling force (OPF) can make a nanoparticle (NP) move against the propagation direction of the incident light. Long-distance optical pulling is highly desired for nano-object manipulation, but its realization remains challenging. We propose an NP-in-cavity structure that can be pulled by a single plane wave to travel long distances when the spherical cavity wrapping the NP has a refractive index lower than the medium. An electromagnetic multipole analysis shows that NPs made of many common materials can receive the OPF inside a lower index cavity. Using a silica-Au core-shell NP that is encapsulated by a plasmonic nanobubble, we experimentally demonstrate that a single laser can pull the Au NP-in-nanobubble structure for ~0.1 mm. These results may lead to practical applications that can use the optical pulling of NP, such as optically driven nanostructure assembly and nanoswimmers.
