Optimal Motion Control of a Capsule Endoscope in the Stomach Utilizing a Magnetic Navigation System with Dual Permanent Magnets.
Article in Micromachines, 2024. 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
We propose a method to control the motion of a capsule endoscope (CE) in the stomach utilizing either a single external permanent magnet (EPM) or dual EPMs to extend the examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract. When utilizing the conventional magnetic navigational system (MNS) with a single EPM to generate tilting and rotational motions of the CE, undesired translational motion of the CE may prevent accurate examination. We analyzed the motion of the CE by calculating the magnetic torque and magnetic force applied to the CE using the point-dipole approximation model. Using the proposed model, we propose a method to determine the optimal position and orientation of the EPM to generate tilting and rotational motions without undesired translational motion of the CE. Furthermore, we optimized the weight of dual EPMs to develop a lightweight MNS. We prototyped the proposed MNS and experimentally verified that the developed MNS can generate tilting and rotational motions of the CE without any translational motion.
