Emergent Antiferroelectric Ordering and the Coupling of Liquid Crystalline and Polar Order.
Article in Small science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Polar liquid crystals possess 3D orientational order coupled with unidirectional electric polarity, yielding fluid ferroelectrics. Such polar phases are generated by rod-like molecules with large electric dipole moments. 2,5-Disubstituted 1,3-dioxane is commonly employed as a polar motif in said systems, and herein it is shown to suffer from thermal instability as a consequence of equatorial-trans to axial-trans isomerism at elevated temperatures. Isosteric building blocks are utilized as potential replacements for the 1,3-dioxane unit, and in doing so new examples of fluid ferroelectric systems are obtained. For binary mixtures of certain composition, the emergence of a new fluid antiferroelectric phase, a finding not observed for either of the parent molecules, is observed. This study also reveals a critical tipping point for the emergence of polar order in otherwise apolar systems. These results hint at the possibility for uncovering new highly ordered polar liquid-crystalline phases and delineate distinct transition mechanisms in orientational and polar ordering.
