Charge Tethering Drives Intermediate-Range Order and Slow Dynamics in Zwitterionic Liquids.
Article in The journal of physical chemistry. B, 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
We have synthesized and characterized a family of zwitterionic liquids (ZwLs) based on the poly(ethylene oxide) imidazolium cation and the alkyl sulfonate anion. To better rationalize ZwLs' structural behavior and network-forming properties, we have computationally studied them in contrast to isostructural but chemically untethered ionic liquid (IL) analogues. Perhaps surprisingly, it is the molecular liquids and not the ILs that show the most self-assembly and intermediate-range order associated with scattering prepeaks; the ZwLs display also the slowest dynamics. This is consistent with prior work showing the importance of networks in considering the viscoelastic relaxation of liquids. We find that, because of their significantly large molecular dipoles, these zwitterions are versatile network-building blocks that result in highly viscous liquids. From a structural perspective, networks in these ZwLs sit somewhere in between what would be true chemical connectivity and the Coulombic networks observed in ionic liquids.
