1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 presents the design and optimization of a new alternating electromagnetic-field-generation system, which is dedicated to actuating untethered magnetic microrobots under an inverted microscope. Its uniqueness is that the system parameters are optimally designed by considering both electric and geometry constraints for the target-driving application. The dominant parameters of the system are first determined by establishing analytical models. According to the requirements of targeted application, the optimization problem with certain constraints is formulated, which is solved via the multiobjective genetic algorithm method. A prototype system with the optimal parameters is developed for experimental testing. Experimental studies are carried out to characterize actual performance of the developed actuation system. For demonstration, a magnetic microball has been actuated for navigation by surface rolling in a petri dish filled with pure water. Results indicate that the reported electromagnetic-field-generation system meets the actuation requirements for potential applications.
