Bioinspired magnetic cilia: from materials to applications.
Review in Microsystems & nanoengineering, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Microscale and nanoscale cilia are ubiquitous in natural systems where they serve diverse biological functions. Bioinspired artificial magnetic cilia have emerged as a highly promising technology with vast potential applications, ranging from soft robotics to highly precise sensors. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the roles of cilia in nature and the various types of magnetic particles utilized in magnetic cilia; additionally, we explore the top-down and bottom-up fabrication techniques employed for their production. Furthermore, we examine the various applications of magnetic cilia, including their use in soft robotics, droplet and particle control systems, fluidics, optical devices, and sensors. Finally, we present our conclusions and the future outlook for magnetic cilia research and development, including the challenges that need to be overcome and the potential for further integration with emerging technologies.
