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

Non-contact mechanical control of light has given rise to optical manipulation, facilitating diverse light-matter interactions and enabling pioneering applications like optical tweezers. However, the practical adoption of versatile optical tweezing systems remains constrained by the complexity and bulkiness of their optical setups, underscoring the urgent requirement for advancements in miniaturization and functional integration. In this paper, we present innovations in optical manipulation within the nanophotonic domain, including fiber-based and metamaterial tweezers, as well as their emerging applications in manipulating cells and artificial micro-nano robots. Furthermore, we explore interdisciplinary on-chip devices that integrate photonic crystals and optofluidics. By merging optical manipulation with the dynamism of nanophotonics and metamaterials, this work seeks to chart a transformative pathway for the future of optomechanics and beyond.
