Robotic Materials With Bioinspired Microstructures for High Sensitivity and Fast Actuation.
Review in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. 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
Functional soft materials with sensing and actuation capabilities enable the creation of autonomous devices and structures. Taking inspiration from natural microstructures of living organisms, a new generation of robotic materials that sense, compute, and actuate is being developed. This manuscript reviews how the integration of bioinspired microstructures into soft materials contributes to enhancing their performance for pressure sensing, actuation, and computation. The design principles for developing such microstructures are outlined, along with discussions of the fabrication strategies. Performance maps are drawn from literature data to allow comparisons of capabilities and to determine trends. Finally, the emerging approaches to embed computation with sensing and actuating into a single robotic material are presented. Overall, this review demonstrates that leveraging bioinspired microstructures into synthetic and functional systems can unlock new material properties that could be deployed in larger autonomous and self-adaptable structures. In the context of sustainable development, relying on microstructure for performance allows the use of new feedstocks while achieving desired functionalities.
