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

Controlling colloidal assembly with high spatial and temporal precision is essential for next-generation photonic and functional materials. Optical forces offer unique advantages, yet remain largely decoupled from chemical stimuli. Here, we introduce a simple strategy to chemically gate absorption-driven optical forces using pH-responsive polyaniline-doped polystyrene microparticles. Under basic conditions, enhanced absorption at 561 nm amplifies axial optical forces, producing superdiffusive motion and promoting the formation of large, ordered interfacial assemblies. Instead, acidic conditions suppress absorption, yielding only small, disordered clusters. This reversible chemical control establishes a general framework for coupling light-matter interactions with chromogenic chemistry, enabling chemo-adaptive, light-driven materials for dynamic sensing and programmable matter.
