Alternating-Magnetic-Field-Mediated Wireless Manipulations of a Liquid Metal for Therapeutic Bioengineering.
Article in iScience, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
As emergent multifunctional materials, room temperature liquid metals (LMs) display many unique properties. Here we show that applying an external alternating magnetic field (AMF) to an LM induces various physical phenomena, such as exothermic behavior, controlled locomotion, electromagnetic levitation, and transformations of the LMs between different morphologies and configurations, in a non-contact manner. Additional interesting therapeutic bioengineering applications of LMs demonstrated herein include in vitro and in vivo effective cancer magnetic hyperthermia via wireless AMF, remote manipulation of a pill-shaped microdevice based on an LM/hydrogel composite, and spatiotemporal controlled release of drug molecules from the microdevice. Overall, as an innovative therapeutic bioengineering technology, this platform and the described performance traits of LMs enable the development of biocompatible smart devices with a wide range of dynamic components that can be wirelessly controlled in a manner that solves issues related to the powering of devices and biocompatibility.
