Micro- and Nanomotors: Engineered Tools for Targeted and Efficient Biomedicine.
Review in ACS nano, 2025. 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
Over the past two decades, nanotechnology has made significant progress toward the development and applications of micromotors (MMs) and nanomotors (NMs). Characterized by their capability to self-propel and swim in fluids, they have emerged as promising tools in various fields, particularly in biomedicine. This Review presents an overview of the current state of MMs and NMs, their motion in viscous media and complex environments, their interaction with biological barriers, and potential therapeutical applications. We identify the choice of appropriate administration routes to reach their target location as a key aspect of the success of MMs and NMs in biomedical applications. Looking ahead, we envision NMs playing a key role in treating diverse medical disorders, as recent proof-of-concept
