Battery-free and self-propelled bionic microneedle system for chemically controlled on-demand drug delivery.
Article in Microsystems & nanoengineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Developing a promising on-demand controllable microneedle drug delivery system could provide stronger self-control and precision delivery of a large payload capacity. Nevertheless, the efficacy of existing systems has been constrained by limitations in the therapeutic payload capacity and slow diffusion of molecules, as well as the necessity for external resource configurations. Drawing inspiration from the multidimensional biomimetic strategies observed in the material properties and functional mechanisms of the bombardier beetle's defensive secretion system, a battery-free and self-propelled biomimetic microneedle system (BSBMs) is proposed for improving therapeutic outcomes and enabling controlled, on-demand drug delivery. The self-powered microneedle delivery platform fully emulates the structure and spray mechanism of bombardier, employing Pt nanoparticles and H
