Uncovering Chemical Principles Governing Nanophase Formation in Ternary Solvents.
Article in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 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
Nanoscopic phases, such as oil-enriched pockets dispersed in water, have been observed in ternary mixtures of oil, water, and cosolvent in the absence of surfactants. Such nanophases are found across a portion of compositions within the single-phase region of the ternary phase diagram. However, the principles governing the formation of nanophases under certain conditions but not others, regarding both volumetric and chemical makeup, are unclear. Here, the nanophase behavior of ternary mixtures of water with a suite of cosolvents and oils containing strategically chosen functional groups is systematically analyzed to probe the role of intermolecular interactions. Dynamic light scattering is used to quantify the nanophase structure. It was found that stronger classes of intermolecular interactions such as H-bonding or n-Π* interactions between oil and cosolvent notably contribute to forming thermodynamically stable nanophases. Ternary mixtures in which the oil has only van der Waals interactions with the water and cosolvent do not stabilize nanophases detectable by dynamic light scattering. Aromatic groups favor nanophase formation. The most prominent structuring (highest number and largest sizes of nanophases) is found in water-rich compositions near the miscibility gap. This experimental study provides chemical insight into the chemical formulation of ternary solvent mixtures favoring nanophase formation.
