An Ultra-Fast Rolling Double-Helical Robot Driven by Constant Humidity.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Untethered soft robots made of stimuli-responsive materials hold great application potential in various fields. However, most robots of this type require artificial modulation of the stimuli to actuate, while it is a great challenge to achieve fast periodic locomotion under a constant external environment. Here, a double-helical robot constructed with humidity-sensitive agarose (AG) films, referred to as the Dualicalbot is proposed, which can rapidly roll under a constant humid environment by making two helices alternately bend by absorbing humidity to actuate the robot in two half-cycles. A theoretical model is built to unveil the periodic deformation of the robot as well as the correlation between the design parameters and the motion speed, based on which the Dualicalbot can reach a maximum rolling speed of 5.8 BL s
