Role of translational noise on current reversals of active particles on ratchet.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 this study, we explore using Langevin dynamics simulations, the role of thermal fluctuations on the rectification of non-interacting inertial active (self-propelled) particles in a rocking ratchet setup in the absence and in the presence of the external time periodic drive. The system is first studied in the absence of the external drive. It is found that the average velocity is always positive and a peaked function of the translational noise, indicating that the asymmetry effects dominate at intermediate values of the strength of the thermal noise. In the second part of this work, we study the effect of the external drive on the dynamics of the system by exploring a phase diagram in the parameter space of translational noise and driving frequency for two different strengths of rotational diffusion. For a given constant amplitude of the active force and amplitude of external drive less than the maximum force due to the potential, the average velocity magnitude as well as the direction ([Formula: see text]) is found to depend on the rotational diffusion, frequency of the external drive and the strength of the translational noise. We discover certain critical parameters in the phase space at which current reversals happen. It is found that when the average particle energy is lower than the potential energy of the barrier, symmetry breaking dominates and the currents are in the 'easy' direction of the ratchet. On the other hand, when the energy available per particle crosses the potential energy of the barrier, the competition between inertial effects and diffusion effects decides the direction of currents. We explain our findings by constructing phase difference datum, velocity probability distribution, and current probability analyses. Our results provide a novel method for controlling the direction of transport of inertial active particles.
