Cholesteric Cellulose Liquid Crystal Fibers by Direct Drawing.
Article in Research (Washington, D.C.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Polymer fibers are attracting increasing attention as a type of fundamental material for a wide range of products. However, to incorporate novel functionality, a crucial challenge is to simultaneously manipulate their structuring across multiple length scales. In this research, a facile and universal approach is proposed by directly drawing a pre-gel feedstock embedding a cellulose cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC). An in situ photo-polymerization process is applied, which not only allows for the continuous drawing of the filaments without breakup but also makes the final CLC fibers a colored appearance. More importantly, the multiscale properties of the fibers, such as their diameter, morphology, and the internal liquid crystalline ordering of the molecules (and thus structural color), can be manipulated by several controlling parameters. Combining this cross-scale tunability with a smart functional hydrogel system results in the formation of fibers with structural coloration, self-healing, electrical conduction, and thermal-sensing abilities. We believe that this platform can be extended to other hydrogel systems and will help unlock a wide variety of real-life applications.
