In-situ X-ray scattering observation of colloidal epitaxy at the gas-liquid-solid interface.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The convective self-assembly of dip-coating is a long-established technique widely employed in scientific and industrial applications. Despite its apparent importance, many of the fundamental aspects remain unknown, particularly the exact assembling mechanism and its relationship with evaporation kinetics and fluid dynamics. Here, we perform the in-situ small-angle X-ray scattering study of the real-time convective self-assembly of colloidal particles inside a meniscus. This approach allows us to resolve the transient assembling processes occurring at the gas, liquid and solid interfaces. Together with ex-situ scanning electron microscopy measurements via the freeze-dry method, the colloidal epitaxy process is uncovered, where the multilayer is sequentially assembled using the interfacial monolayer as a template. The microscopic ordering of the final multilayer is highly correlated with that of the initial monolayer. The evaporation kinetics and fluid dynamics are numerically simulated, which rationalizes the monolayer formation and the dynamic epitaxial process.
