Three-dimensional optical trapping with a low-NA objective using a flat-top beam.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
In this study, we demonstrate a novel optical setup that is capable of volumetric 3D trapping and crystal-like structure generation. We achieved this by shaping asymmetric counter-propagating beams comprised of a flat-top beam on one side and a multifocal spot on the other. Here, we study this trapping system both experimentally and theoretically and demonstrate stable trapping. Unlike most previous techniques, here we use low numerical aperture optics resulting in long manipulation distances and a wide field of view for side and front microscopy of the sample chamber. Moreover, the setup is easy-to-align and less sensitive to misalignments compared to most 3D structure forming methods. Our system can find application in the development of novel materials and microscopy studies on trapped particles.
