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

The development of magnetically-actuated micro-robots is of great interest for emerging medical applications due to their inherent safety, low cost to manufacture, and flexibility. In many practical applications, precise control over the motion of the microrobots is a strong requirement. In these contexts, closed-loop control is a practical tool to adjust the microrobots' control inputs in real time. In this work, we describe a process to quickly fabricate a large number of heterogeneous microrobots using colloidal synthesis. We simultaneously develop a closed-loop control law that drives the microrobots to a desired formation in the plane. In addition, we prove that heterogeneity in the microrobot dynamics is necessary to generate arbitrary formations. Finally, using experimental data, we show in simulation that
