An Aluminum Electro-Thermally Actuated Micro-Tweezer: Manufacturing and Characterization.
Article in Micromachines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 this paper, we present the investigations of an aluminum micro-tweezer designed for micromanipulation applications. It includes design, simulation, fabrication, characterizations, and experimental measurements. Electro-thermo-mechanical FEM-based simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics were performed to describe the behavior of the micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device. The micro-tweezers were fabricated in aluminum, as structural material, by surface micromachining processes. Experimental measurements were performed and compared with the simulation results. A micromanipulation experiment was performed using titanium microbeads from 10-30 µm to confirm the performance of the micro-tweezer. This study serves as further research regarding the using of aluminum as structural material for MEMS devices designated for pick-and-place operations.
