Fabrication of Soft Robotics by Additive Manufacturing: From Materials to Applications.
Review in Chemical reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Soft robotics is a rapidly evolving field that leverages the unique properties of compliant, flexible materials to create robots that are capable of complex and adaptive behaviors. Unlike traditional rigid robots, soft robots rely on the properties of soft materials, which enable them to safely interact with humans, manipulate delicate objects, and perform various locomotion processes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the development process of soft robots by additive manufacturing with a particular focus on the chemical aspects of the materials involved. The types of materials used in soft robotics, highlighting their properties, applications, and the role of their chemical composition in performance, are presented. The review then explores fabrication methods, detailing their chemical underpinnings, advantages, and limitations, followed by presenting common design methods used to optimize soft robots. Finally, the review discusses the diverse applications of soft robots across various domains, including medical, locomotion, manipulation, and wearable devices. By covering every stage of the additive manufactured soft robot, from material selection to application, this review aims to offer a deep and comprehensive understanding of this field.
