1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Janus supraparticles, which are anisotropic colloidal assemblies with phase-separated domains, have attracted significant interest for their structural and functional versatility. However, fabricating Janus supraparticles is challenging because it requires precise control over the spatial arrangement of different micro- or nanoparticles within a single assembly. While phase separation of a nanoparticle mixture with an external gradient field is studied with magnetic particles, gravity is unexplored as a potential external field. In this work, we demonstrate the synthesis of Janus supraparticles by evaporation of binary suspensions on a superamphiphobic substrate. We find that combining particles of similar size but different densities, as well as those of the same material with varying sizes, leads to an effective internal phase separation. These results highlight the potential of leveraging sedimentation as a particularly simple yet robust strategy to induce spatial heterogeneity during supraparticle formation.
