Observation of phase correlations in ferrofluids.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Magnetic fluids, also known as ferrofluids, are excellent candidates for several important research fields, including soft robotics and biomedicine. In this study, we report on the observation of phase correlations between two physically isolated and electromagnetically shielded volumes of ferrofluid. A "twinning" pre-conditioning process, involving the application of hysteresis cycles to the entire fluid volume, was performed to induce a coherent state. Subsequently, the fluid was divided into two separate, shielded containers, with one subjected to an electrical stimulus. We observed statistically significant correlations in the impedance fluctuations between the stimulated and non-stimulated samples, even at a separation distance of up to 10 meters. These correlations persist for approximately 100 hours under laboratory conditions and were consistently observed in both water-based and hydrocarbon-based ferrofluids within a temperature range of 10-50 °C. The experimental design excludes classical electromagnetic fields as the mediating force. These findings suggest the presence of a long-range, collective phenomenon in ferrofluids, opening new avenues for investigating complex interactions in colloidal systems.
