Progressive Local Accumulation of Self-Assembled Nanoreactors in a Hydrogel Matrix through Repetitive Injections of ATP.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Cellular functions are regulated with high spatial control through the local activation of chemical processes in a complex inhomogeneous matrix. The development of synthetic macroscopic systems with a similar capacity allows fundamental studies aimed at understanding the relationship between local molecular events and the emergence of functional properties at the macroscopic level. Here, we show that a kinetically stable inhomogeneous hydrogel matrix is spontaneously formed upon the local injection of ATP. Locally, ATP templates the self-assembly of amphiphiles into large nanoreactors with a much lower diffusion rate compared to unassembled amphiphiles. The local depletion of unassembled amphiphiles near the injection point installs a concentration gradient along which unassembled amphiphiles diffuse from the surroundings to the center. This allows for a progressive local accumulation of self-assembled nanoreactors in the matrix upon repetitive cycles of ATP injection separated by time intervals during which diffusion of unassembled amphiphiles takes place. Contrary to the homogeneous matrix containing the same components, in the inhomogeneous matrix the local upregulation of a chemical reaction occurs. Depending on the way the same amount of injected ATP is administered to the hydrogel matrix different macroscopic distributions of nanoreactors are obtained, which affect the location in the matrix where the chemical reaction is upregulated.
