Multifunctional Magnetocontrollable Superwettable-Microcilia Surface for Directional Droplet Manipulation.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
In nature, fluid manipulations are ubiquitous in organisms, and they are crucial for many of their vital activities. Therefore, this process has also attracted widescale research attention. However, despite significant advances in fluid transportation research over the past few decades, it is still hugely challenging to achieve efficient and nondestructive droplet transportation owing to contamination effects and controllability problems in liquid transportation applications. To this end, inspired by the motile microcilia of micro-organisms, the superhydrophobicity of lotus leaves, the underwater superoleophobicity of filefish skin, and pigeons' migration behavior, a novel manipulation strategy is developed for droplets motion. Specifically, herein, a superwettable magnetic microcilia array surface with a structure that is switchable by an external magnetic field is constructed for droplet manipulation. It is found that under external magnetic fields, the superhydrophobic magnetic microcilia array surface can continuously and directionally manipulate the water droplets in air and that the underwater superoleophobic magnetic microcilia array surface can control the oil droplets underwater. This work demonstrates that the nondestructive droplet transportation mechanism can be used for liquid transportation, droplet reactions, and micropipeline transmission, thus opening up an avenue for practical applications of droplet manipulation using intelligent microstructure surfaces.
