Unveiling the beam-wake interactions in plasma wakefield acceleration.
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
Plasma wakefield accelerators, powered by high-current particle beams, promise compact and cost-effective sources of energetic leptons for future light sources and particle colliders. The interplay between the driving particle bunch and the plasma wakefields fundamentally determines accelerator performance. Gaining direct insight into these interactions is therefore key to realizing high-efficiency, high-quality particle acceleration. Using femtosecond ultrarelativistic electron microscopy, we characterize in situ both the wakefield and the driving bunch from a single-shot image with unprecedented detail. By systematically varying the driver charge, we capture the transitions from linear to nonlinear wakefield regimes. We also observe beam-wake coupling manifested through wakefield flattening and transverse dynamics of the driving bunch. These observations provide crucial real-time insights into the highly transient and complex dynamics of beam-plasma interactions, paving the way for precise control of the acceleration process.
