Engineering Liquid Metal Particles: Design Rules for Sonication-Based Methods.
Review in Nano letters, 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
Liquid metal particles (LMPs) combine liquid-like adaptability with metallic properties, making them highly versatile for applications including flexible electronics, drug delivery, and soft robotics. However, their broader utilization is limited by the formation of a native oxide layer during synthesis, which reduces electrical conductivity. This review provides a focused examination of how sonication conditions─specifically power, duration, temperature, solvent type, and surfactant usage─critically influence LMP synthesis, impacting particle size, morphology, and surface characteristics. By clarifying the interplay between these parameters and their effects, we present a systematic framework for optimizing LMP synthesis. Flowcharts are introduced to map out control parameters and variables, offering a clearer understanding of the mechanisms involved. This approach aims to guide future efforts in tailoring LMP properties for a wide range of advanced technological applications.
