In Situ 3D Crystal Growth Measurement: Unravelling the Nature of Crystal Face-Specific Growth Rate Dispersion in α‑Form l‑Glutamic Acid.
Article in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, 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
Obtaining 3D crystal morphology and its evolution during growth is beneficial for crystallization process design. A newly developed image analysis tool is used to reconstruct the complex 3D morphology (20 habit faces in 6 forms) of α form l-glutamic acid crystals from 2D transmission microscopy images captured in situ during the growth process. A digital crystallographically based polyhedral mesh is fitted to experimental images, enabling calculation of face-specific growth rates. Solution supersaturation during the growth process is estimated using the fitted crystal volume together with solubility and density data. The data reveals significant growth rate dispersion, reflecting differences in the local solution environment, with {110} and {100} faces growing fastest and {001} the slowest. For our experiments, mechanistic analysis is consistent with surface integration-limited growth, which aligns with the BCF model, except for the {111} and {001} surfaces, which are mass transfer limited under the B&S model.
