Fluorination: Simple Change but Complex Impact on Ferroelectric Nematic and Smectic Liquid Crystal Phases.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2025. 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
A series of liquid crystal (LC) materials are reported, which form a variety of ferroelectric nematic and smectic phases. The relationship between the number and position of lateral fluorine substituents and the formation of ferroelectric LC phases is investigated. While the addition of fluorine substituents increases the temperature at which ferroelectric order appears, the relationship between fluorination and the LC phase sequence is more complicated. Introducing lateral fluorine substituents can either suppress or promote the formation of ferroelectric smectic phases, depending on their position within the molecule, and the interplay between these trends allows for more exotic ferroelectric phases to appear.
