Nanoscale thermoplasmonic welding.
Review in iScience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Establishing direct, close contact between individual nano-objects is crucial to fabricating hierarchical and multifunctional nanostructures. Nanowelding is a technical prerequisite for successfully manufacturing such structures. In this paper, we review the nanoscale thermoplasmonic welding with a focus on its physical mechanisms, key influencing factor, and emerging applications. The basic mechanisms are firstly described from the photothermal conversion to self-limited heating physics. Key aspects related to the welding process including material scrutinization, nanoparticle geometric and spatial configuration, heating scheme and performance characterization are then discussed in terms of the distinctive properties of plasmonic welding. Based on the characteristics of high precision and flexible platform of thermoplasmonic welding, the potential applications are further highlighted from electronics and optics to additive manufacturing. Finally, the future challenges and prospects are outlined for future prospects of this dynamic field. This work summarizes these innovative concepts and works on thermoplasmonic welding, which is significant to establish a common link between nanoscale welding and additive manufacturing communities.
