A Review of Design and Fabrication of the Bionic Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles.
Review in Micromachines, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Bionic flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) are promising for a variety of applications because of their flexibility and high mobility. This study reviews the state-of-the-art FWMAVs of various research institutes driven by electrical motor, mechanical transmission structure and "artificial muscle" material and then elaborates on the aerodynamic mechanism of micro-winged birds and insects. Owing to their low mass budget, FWMAVs require actuators with high power density from micrometer to centimeter scales. The selection and design of the mechanical transmission should be considered in parallel with the design of the power electronic interface required to drive it. Finally, power electronic topologies suitable for driving "artificial muscle" materials used in FWMAVs are stated.
