Crack densification in drying colloidal suspensions.
Article in Science advances, 2024. 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
As sessile drops of aqueous colloidal suspensions dry, a close-packed particle deposit forms that grows from the edge of the drop toward the center. To compensate for evaporation over the solid's surface, water flows radially through the deposit, generating a negative pore pressure in the deposit associated with tensile drying stresses that induce the formation of cracks. As these stresses increase during drying, existing cracks propagate and additional cracks form, until the crack density eventually saturates. We rationalize the dynamics of crack propagation and crack densification with a local energy balance between the elastic energy released by the crack, the energetic cost of fracture, and the elastic energy released by previously formed cracks. We show that the final spacing between radial cracks is proportional to the local thickness of the deposit, while the aspect ratio of the crack segments depends on the shape of the deposit.
