New Means to Control Molecular Assembly.
Article in The journal of physical chemistry. C, Nanomaterials and interfaces, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
While self-assembly of molecules is relatively well-known and frequently utilized in chemical synthesis and material science, controlled assembly of molecules represents a new concept and approach. The present work demonstrates the concept of controlled molecular assembly using a non-spherical biomolecule, heparosan tetrasaccharide (MW = 1.099 kD). The key to controlled assembly is the fact that ultra-small solution droplets exhibit different evaporation dynamics from those of larger ones. Using an independently controlled microfluidic probe in an atomic force microscope, sub-femtoliter aqueous droplets containing designed molecules produce well-defined features with dimensions as small as tens of nanometers. The initial shape of the droplet and the concentration of solute within the droplet dictate the final assembly of molecules due to the ultrafast evaporation rate and dynamic spatial confinement of the droplets. The level of control demonstrated in this work brings us closer to programmable synthesis for chemistry and materials science which can be used to develop vehicles for drug delivery three-dimensional nanoprinting in additive manufacturing.
