Diffusiophoresis-enhanced Turing patterns.
Article in Science advances, 2023. 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
Turing patterns are fundamental in biophysics, emerging from short-range activation and long-range inhibition processes. However, their paradigm is based on diffusive transport processes that yield patterns with shallower gradients than those observed in nature. A complete physical description of this discrepancy remains unknown. We propose a solution to this phenomenon by investigating the role of diffusiophoresis, which is the propulsion of colloids by a chemical gradient, in Turing patterns. Diffusiophoresis enables robust patterning of colloidal particles with substantially finer length scales than the accompanying chemical Turing patterns. A scaling analysis and a comparison to recent experiments indicate that chromatophores, ubiquitous in biological pattern formation, are likely diffusiophoretic and the colloidal Péclet number controls the pattern enhancement. This discovery suggests that important features of biological pattern formation can be explained with a universal mechanism that is quantified straightforwardly from the fundamental physics of colloids.
