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

Micro/nano-scale robotic devices are emerging as a cutting-edge approach for precision intravascular therapies, offering the potential for highly targeted drug delivery. While employing micro/nanorobotics for stroke treatment is a promising strategy due to its ability to localize therapy and minimize drug dosage, current methods require prolonged treatment durations, increasing the risk of nerve tissue necrosis from extended hypoxia. Here a programmable colloidal microswarm capable of rapidly detaching blood clots from the vessel wall is developed, enabling swift recanalization without the need for complete clot degradation. More importantly, the detached clot debris, despite their random shapes, functions as magnetic "debris-robots" and can be efficiently propelled through helical swimming within flowing vessels, followed by retrieval using catheter suction. The entire process-including catheter delivery, controlled locomotion, clot detachment, and retrieval-can be completed in approximately half an hour, significantly saving time compared to the critical "Golden 6 hours" window for stroke treatment. This retrieval procedure greatly minimizes nanoparticle exposure in the bloodstream and lowers the risk of secondary clotting in distal vessels, marking a significant advancement in robotic-assisted thrombolysis.
