Anti-biofouling implantable catheter using thin-film magnetic microactuators.
Article in Sensors and actuators. B, Chemical, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Here we report on the development of polyimide-based flexible magnetic actuators for actively combating biofouling that occurs in many chronically implanted devices. The thin-film flexible devices are microfabricated and integrated into a single-pore silicone catheter to demonstrate a proof-of-concept for a self-clearing smart catheter. The static and dynamic mechanical responses of the thin-film magnetic microdevices were quantitatively measured and compared to theoretical values. The mechanical fatigue properties of these polyimide-based microdevices were also characterized up to 300 million cycles. Finally, the biofouling removal capabilities of magnetically powered microdevices were demonstrated using bovine serum albumin and bioconjugated microbeads. Our results indicate that these thin-film microdevices are capable of significantly reducing the amount of biofouling. At the same time, we demonstrated that these microdevices are mechanically robust enough to withstand a large number of actuation cycles during its chronic implantation.
