The waves that make the pattern: a review on acoustic manipulation in biomedical research.
Review in Materials today. Bio, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
Novel approaches, combining technology, biomaterial design, and cutting-edge cell culture, have been increasingly considered to advance the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Within this context, acoustic manipulation to remotely control spatial cellular organization within a carrier matrix has arisen as a particularly promising method during the last decade. Acoustic or sound-induced manipulation takes advantage of hydrodynamic forces exerted on systems of particles within a liquid medium by standing waves. Inorganic or organic particles, cells, or organoids assemble within the nodes of the standing wave, creating distinct patterns in response to the applied frequency and amplitude. Acoustic manipulation has advanced from micro- or nanoparticle arrangement in 2D to the assembly of multiple cell types or organoids into highly complex in vitro tissues. In this review, we discuss the past research achievements in the field of acoustic manipulation with particular emphasis on biomedical application. We survey microfluidic, open chamber, and high throughput devices for their applicability to arrange non-living and living units in buffer or hydrogels. We also investigate the challenges arising from different methods, and their prospects to gain a deeper understanding of in vitro tissue formation and application in the field of biomedical engineering.
