Arrested coalescence in structured liquids.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Structuring liquids can be achieved by the assembly and jamming of particles at the oil-water interface. However, this typically requires surface modification of particles or co-assembly with polymer ligands to enhance interfacial binding energies. Here, we show a simple and robust strategy to structure liquids by using water-soluble, star-shaped β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) derivatives, whose interfacial assembly is driven by supramolecular interactions with oil solvents. Three classes of solvents including alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons and halohydrocarbons are examined, leading to distinct interfacial binding energies of β-CD derivatives and different liquid structuring and coalescence behaviors. In aromatic hydrocarbon/water biphasic systems, β-CD derivatives form jammed yet porous interfacial assemblies that combine mechanical rigidity with high free volume. As a result, the liquids are shapeable, reconfigurable and capable of arrested coalescence upon gentle contact, opening opportunities for programmable liquid constructs, soft robots, and related applications.
