Self-powered droplet manipulation for full human-droplet interaction in multiple mediums.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Droplet manipulation holds significant promise across the energy, environmental, and medical fields. However, current methods still lack a solution that simultaneously satisfies the requirements for self-powered energy supply, high efficiency, human-droplet interaction, flexibility, and universality. Herein, we develop a human-droplet interaction platform based on an omni-directional triboelectric tweezer, which directly utilizes triboelectric charges induced by human motion to manipulate droplets. The omni-directional triboelectric tweezer produces the charges and electric field necessary for droplet control through simple sliding motions, thereby eliminating conventional dependencies on power source and complex electrode arrays. Moreover, its omni-directional operation capability further enhances the flexibility and precision of droplet manipulation. Our approach demonstrates effective droplet manipulation in both gas and liquid phases through hand movements, enabling a range of operations such as efficient transportation, precise anchoring, flexible steering, merging chemical reactions, and drug extraction, showcasing its comprehensive application capabilities.
