A magnetically powered nanomachine with a DNA clutch.
Article in Nature nanotechnology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Machines found in nature and human-made machines share common components, such as an engine, and an output element, such as a rotor, linked by a clutch. This clutch, as seen in biological structures such as dynein, myosin or bacterial flagellar motors, allows for temporary disengagement of the moving parts from the running engine. However, such sophistication is still challenging to achieve in artificial nanomachines. Here we present a spherical rotary nanomotor with a reversible clutch system based on precise molecular recognition of built-in DNA strands. The clutch couples and decouples the engine from the machine's rotor in response to encoded inputs such as DNA or RNA. The nanomotor comprises a porous nanocage as a spherical rotor to confine the magnetic engine particle within the nanospace (∼0.004 μm
