25+ Years of Research on Nonphotochemical Laser-Induced Nucleation (NPLIN).
Review in Crystal growth & design, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This Perspective looks back on 25+ years of research on nonphotochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN), focusing in particular on the accidental discovery of the phenomenon, a discussion of the three proposed mechanisms for NPLIN, the application of microfluidics to the study of NPLIN, industrial application of NPLIN, and the future of NPLIN. It also discusses the recent finding that high pressure suppresses NPLIN, and how this finding provides the strongest evidence to date for the impurity heating mechanism for NPLIN.
