A Two-Dimensional Manipulation Method for a Magnetic Microrobot with a Large Region of Interest Using a Triad of Electromagnetic Coils.
Article in Micromachines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This paper proposes an effective method to manipulate the 2D motions of a magnetic small-scale robot (microrobot) within a relatively large working area using a triad of electromagnetic coils (TEC). The TEC is a combination of three identical circular coils placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. Since it is geometrically compact and requires only three control variables (input currents), the TEC can be effectively used to generate various magnetic fields that can be used to maneuver various functional microrobots. In this paper, we established several equations to calculate the input currents of the TEC required to move a microrobot along a designated pathway effectively and precisely. We also constructed an experimental setup to demonstrate and validate the controlled motions of the microrobot using the proposed method. The results showed that the proposed method can effectively improve the TEC's practical working area (region of interest) for manipulating the microrobot, which can possibly be applied to biomedical and biological applications, including minimally invasive surgery, targeted drug and cargo delivery, microfluidic control, etc.
