Power-law intermittency in the gradient-induced self-propulsion of colloidal swimmers.
Article in Soft matter, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Active colloidal microswimmers serve as archetypical active fluid systems, and as models for biological swimmers. Here, by studying in detail their velocity traces, we find robust power-law intermittency with system-dependent exponential cut off. We model the intermittent motion by an interplay of the field gradient-dependent active force, which depends on a fluid gradient and is reduced when the swimmer moves, and the locally fluctuating hydrodynamic drag, that is set by the wetting properties of the substrate. The model closely describes the velocity distributions of two disparate swimmer systems: AC field activated and catalytic swimmers. The generality is highlighted by the collapse of all data in a single master curve, suggesting the applicability to further systems, both synthetic and biological.
