Controlled locomotion of a droplet propelled by an encapsulated squirmer.

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
We work out the propulsion of a viscous drop which is driven by two mechanisms: the active velocity of an encapsulated squirmer and an externally applied force acting on the squirmer. Of particular interest is the existence of a stable comoving state of drop and squirmer, allowing for controlled manipulation of the viscous drop by external forcing. The velocities of droplet and squirmer, as well as the conditions for a stable comoving state are worked out analytically for the axisymmetric configuration with a general displacement of the squirmer from the center of the droplet.
