Atmospheric electroaerodynamic thrusters with grid collectors.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The present study investigates the effects of adopting grid structures as collector electrodes on the performance of electroaerodynamic (EAD) thrusters. A systematic experimental campaign was carried out to determine how key geometric parameters of the grids-including spatial density and wire diameter-impact thruster performance. Dimensionless coefficients were introduced in order to enable meaningful comparisons with respect to existing literature. The results reveal the existence of an optimal grid configuration, leading to a significant enhancement in performance compared to the state of the art for a single stage unit, such as in thrust density, achieving a maximum of [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text] of applied voltage, and thrust-to-weight ratio, reaching a maximum value of 9.51, all achieved without compromising the propulsive efficiency typical of traditional EAD thrusters.
