Microrheology: From Video Microscopy to Optical Tweezers.
Review in Micromachines, 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
Microrheology, a branch of rheology, focuses on studying the flow and deformation of matter at micron length scales, enabling the characterization of materials using minute sample volumes. This review article explores the principles and advancements of microrheology, covering a range of techniques that infer the viscoelastic properties of soft materials from the motion of embedded tracer particles. Special emphasis is placed on methods employing optical tweezers, which have emerged as a powerful tool in both passive and active microrheology thanks to their exceptional force sensitivity and spatiotemporal resolution. The review also highlights complementary techniques such as video particle tracking, magnetic tweezers, dynamic light scattering, and atomic force microscopy. Applications across biology, materials science, and soft matter research are discussed, emphasizing the growing relevance of particle tracking microrheology and optical tweezers in probing microscale mechanics.
