A review of peristaltic micropumps.
Article in Sensors and actuators. A, Physical, 2021. 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
This report presents a review of progress on peristaltic micropumps since their emergence, which have been widely used in many research fields from biology to aeronautics. This paper summarizes different techniques that have been used to mimic this elegant physiological transport mechanism that is commonly found in nature. The analysis provides definitions of peristaltic micropumps and their different features, distinguishing them from other mechanical micropumps. Important parameters in peristalsis are presented, such as the operating frequency, stroke volume, and various actuation sequences, along with introducing design rules and analysis for optimizing actuation sequences. Actuation methods such as piezoelectric, motor, pneumatic, electrostatic, and thermal are discussed with their advantages and disadvantages for application in peristaltic micropumps. This review evaluates research efforts over the past 30 years with comparison of key features and outputs, and suggestions for future development. The analysis provides a starting point for researchers designing peristaltic micropumps for a broad range of applications.
