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

In the field of Additive Manufacturing, four-dimensional (4D) printing has emerged as a promising technique to fabricate smart structures capable of undergoing shape morphing in response to specific stimuli. Magnetic stimulation offers a safe, remote, and rapid actuation mechanism for magnetically responsive structures. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the various strategies and manufacturing approaches employed in the development of magnetically stimulated shape morphing 4D-printed structures, based on an extensive literature search. The review explores the use of magnetic stimulation either individually or in combination with other stimuli. While most of the literature focuses on single-stimulus responsive structures, a few examples of multi-stimuli responsive structures are also presented. We investigate the influence of the orientation of magnetic particles in smart material composites, which can be either random or programmed during or after printing. Finally, the similarities and differences among the different strategies and their impact on the resulting shape-morphing behavior are analyzed. This systematic overview functions as a guide for readers in selecting a manufacturing approach to achieve a specific magnetically actuated shape-morphing effect.
