Advances in nanomechanical property mapping by atomic force microscopy.
Review in Nanoscale advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
AFM-based mechanical property measurements are widely used in energy storage, polymer science, mechanobiology or nanomedicine. Mechanical properties are determined by expressing the experimental force in terms of a contact mechanics model. A nanomechanical map is generated by representing one or more mechanical parameters as a function of the tip's spatial coordinates. Force spectroscopy modes might be separated into two categories, adhesion and indentation. Here we describe the principles of AFM-based indentation modes to generate spatially resolved maps of the mechanical properties at the nanoscale. The review provides an update on the progress in nanomechanical mapping since 2019. The focus is on quantitative accuracy, spatial resolution, high-speed data acquisition, machine learning and viscoelastic property mapping. Two advanced applications which emerged from AFM-based indentation modes, nanomechanical tomography and volume imaging of solid-liquid interfaces, are also described.
