A Novel Variable Volume Capillary Microgripper for Micromanipulation in Aqueous Media.
Article in Micromachines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study presents a novel capillary microgripper for manipulating micrometer-sized objects directly within aqueous environments. The system features dynamic, vision-based feedback control of a non-volatile silicone oil droplet volume, enabling precise adjustment of the capillary bridge force for the adaptable capture of varying object sizes. This approach ensures extended working time and stable operation in water, mitigating the issues associated with evaporation common in other systems. COMSOL Multiphysics simulations analyzed capillary bridge formation. Experimental validation demonstrated successful different object shapes and sizes capture in an aqueous environment and further explored active release strategies necessary due to the non-volatile fluid, confirming the system potential for robust underwater micromanipulation.
