In Situ Control of Reactive Mesogens Alignment During 3D Printing by Two-Photon Lithography.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 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
Photopolymerizable liquid crystals, also known as reactive mesogens, are leading candidates for additive manufacturing of smart microdevices via two-photon lithography (TPL). While substantial advancements are made toward innovative applications, precise control of molecular alignment during fabrication, essential for tailoring complex optical and mechanical responses, remains a significant challenge. Current solutions require elaborate multi-step procedures or customized setups to achieve 2D or 3D alignment patterns. Herein, the deterministic effect of TPL on the orientation of mesogenic moieties is reported, under optimized printing conditions. Specifically, a single-step simple method is developed for aligning the nematic director in situ, with sub-diffraction-limited resolution, during 3D printing. Based on the conventional TPL workflow, the "director-tuning mode" (DiTuM) relies on the anisotropic photopolymerization reaction occurring along the print path at low laser scan speeds (≈0.1mm s
