Magnetically actuated multimodal bioelectronic catheter for minimally invasive surgery and sensing.
Article in Nature materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Small-scale magnetically actuated catheters capable of remote active navigation have promising applications in minimally invasive surgeries. However, existing fabrication techniques hinder their integration with multimodal sensing components, especially since embedding rigid electronic components within the catheters may diminish their flexibility and controllability. Here we report a magnetically actuated bioelectronic catheter with the in situ multiplexed biosensing of multiple types of metabolite or ion simultaneously. We use four-dimensional multichannel printing to fabricate a flexible multichannel ferromagnetic catheter with a multichannel-sheath structure, comprising six liquid metal microchannels embedded in a polymer matrix for electrical conduction. The catheter can navigate through blood vessels and intestines using magnetically controlled active steering, being used for renal vein or intestines interventional surgeries and in situ multimetabolite sensing on rabbit and porcine models. Overall, the reported magnetically actuated bioelectronic catheter is a promising tool for remotely controlled biosensing and therapies on hard-to-reach lesions during minimally invasive surgery.
