Stable and Highly Steerable Magnetic Nanorobots Demonstrate Therapeutical Functionality in Crowded Biological Media.
Article in ACS nano, 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
Magnetic nanorobots primarily composed of ferromagnetic materials have been extensively investigated for their potential medical applications. Here, we have designed and developed superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs)-functionalized nanorobots (SPIONs-NR), a system that is significantly smaller in size and has larger magnetic anisotropy and steerability than most previously reported superparamagnetic microrobots. We demonstrate that the nanorobots are highly stable against magnetic agglomeration, even at high densities. Due to their smaller size, they can be controllably steered through crowded biological media, which was not possible before. We have maneuvered the robots through the extracellular matrix to target and annihilate malignant cells via magnetic hyperthermia-induced localized heating. Collectively, these properties make SPIONs-NR promising candidates for nanomedicine applications.
