Programmable assembly of particles on a Chladni plate.
Article in Science advances, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
In nature, simple building units can be assembled into complex shapes through long-term time-varying external stimuli that are often spatially nonlinear. In contrast, most artificial methods of externally directed assembly rely on field- or template-based energy minimization. However, methods directing the assembly process by controlling time-varying external stimuli instead of attaining the lowest-energy state remain largely unexplored. In this study, we introduce a method that applies time-varying and spatially nonlinear vibration fields to assemble particles into a desired two-dimensional shape. Our assembly method predicts, controls, and monitors the vibration-induced particle motion to iteratively minimize the difference between the desired shape and the actual particle distribution. We applied our method to a centrally actuated vibrating plate, also known as a Chladni plate, and assembled up to a hundred submillimeter particles into complex recognizable shapes. The method allows programmable formation of shapes beyond the intrinsic limits of periodic patterning of the plate.
