3D Anderson localization of classical scalar waves.
Article in Science advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Anderson localization, first predicted in 1958, is one of the most fascinating and remarkable wave phenomena. The experimental search for this halt of diffusive transport in three-dimensional (3D) disordered systems, which is still very actively pursued for classical waves (light or sound), has never been demonstrated for the fundamental case of scalar waves. Inspired by recent advances in 3D metamaterials, we show that a locally resonant ultrasonic metafluid consisting of a suspension of soft metallic beads is the innovation needed for 3D Anderson localization of scalar acoustic waves to be definitively observed. By reporting two independent sets of time- and position-resolved ultrasonic experiments, we present clear evidence of Anderson transitions between diffusion and localization, accurately determining the mobility edges and the localization phase diagram.
