Identifying and controlling the order parameter for ultrafast photoinduced phase transitions in thermosalient materials.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The drastic shape deformation that accompanies the structural phase transition in thermosalient materials offers great potential for their applications as actuators and sensors. The microscopic origin of this fascinating effect has so far remained obscure, while for technological applications, it is important to learn how to drive transitions from one phase to another. Here, we present a combined computational and experimental study, in which we have successfully identified the order parameter for the thermosalient phase transition in the molecular crystal 2,7-di([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-fluorenone. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the transition barrier vanishes at the transition temperature. The simulations further show that two low-frequency vibrational-librational modes are directly related to the order parameter that describes this phase transition, which is supported by experimental Raman spectroscopy studies. By applying a computational THz pulse with the proper frequency and amplitude we predict that we can photoinduce this phase transition on a picosecond timescale.
