Spatiotemporal Retention of Structural Color and Induced Stiffening in Crosslinked Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Beads.
Article in Macromolecular rapid communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is known for its ability to form cholesteric liquid crystalline phases displaying vivid structural colors. However, these vibrant colors tend to fade over time when the material dries. This issue is a major bottleneck to finding practical applications for these materials. Here this problem is overcome by producing free-standing, millimeter-sized HPC structurally colored beads with spatiotemporal color retention, facilitated by a glutaraldehyde crosslinker. By leveraging the well-known chemically induced stabilization of cholesteric liquid crystalline phases, stable structural colors are achieved for at least three weeks. The presence of glutaraldehyde significantly increases the mechanical stiffness, with Young's modulus rising from 0.3± 0.1 GPa to 1.8± 0.2 GPa. This integrated approach of creating free-standing photonic HPC beads offers a strategy for developing robust and durable photonic HPC materials with enhanced stability, advancing photonic material applications with spatiotemporal color stability.
