1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We present the first observation of AC electroosmosis (ACEO) flow at nanoscale structures in the MHz range, offering new insights into electrokinetic phenomena in this frequency regime. Our findings reveal that ACEO occurs at frequencies much higher than previously anticipated, even surpassing the Debye-Hückel frequency associated with charge relaxation. Despite remaining undetected for over two decades, this result is corroborated by the frequency-size scaling laws derived in this work from the existing ACEO theory. We contextualize these findings within the historical development of electrokinetic phenomena and discuss their implications for the current theoretical framework of ACEO.
