Speckle tweezers near water-oil and water-air interfaces.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2026. 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
Contemporary approaches for multiple optical micro-manipulation typically involve careful pre-engineering of the laser beam shape. In various biomedical and microfluidic scenarios, especially those necessitating unconventional specimen chambers, there is a demand for controlling the collection of micro-objects near fluid-fluid interfaces. For many of these cases, a regular array of trap sites as well as tight confinement are not essential. For such applications near interfaces, we expand on the concept of speckle tweezers (ST), which incorporate randomly distributed light fields for quasi-2D optical manipulation. The proposed technique is demonstrated experimentally by applying ST to govern the movement of polystyrene micro-particles near water-oil and water-air interfaces. The efficacy of the method is validated through the temporal characterization of micro-particle motions, and the confinement of the micro-particles near the interfaces is verified using digital holographic microscopy. However, the methodology has the potential for applications in living cell manipulation, soft functional matter creation, and various industrial processes.
