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
A dielectric microsphere concentrates light into a photonic nanojet (PNJ), and swims towards the near-infrared laser in response to the nanojet-mediated force. In contrast, a Janus particle with an opaque metal layer was thought to be impossible to concentrate light into a stable nanojet. However, the Janus particle may experience optical torque owing to the inhomogeneous composition on both sides even in linearly polarized non-resonant light. Herein, we report on topologically protected PNJ produced by a synthetic Janus particle, and observed the backaction force on the Janus particle. Due to symmetry, the counter-propagating beams can both form PNJ on the respective opposite sides, and pull Janus particles towards respective sources. Furthermore, we unveil that the hysteresis on backaction force with respect to the injection power also exists on synthetic Janus particle compared with their dielectric counterparts. Additionally, the magnitude of the backaction force varies between power increase and decrease stages even with the same laser power. We anticipate that the observation offers great possibilities to pull irregular particles by concentrating light with the particle, and such scheme may be applied for parallel particle manipulation and classification.
