Jamming with magnetic composites.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The jamming transition-marked by dramatic changes in mechanical properties, such as stiffness and damping-enables programmable and adaptive structures for robotic applications. This phenomenon, driven by changes in the coupling between individual subunits of an aggregate, can be controlled through external actuation sources. Existing jamming actuation methods, such as applying a vacuum with an airtight envelope, pose significant limitations, as they require the structures to be tethered, limiting reconfigurability and scalability. Here, we introduce an untethered jamming mechanism based on magnetic interactions between soft-ferromagnetic composites. We establish composite design principles to program the magnetization of the subunits, demonstrate linear, planar, and volumetric jamming and shape-locking, and model the magneto-mechanical behavior. This approach contributes to the development of jamming-based materials in which the jamming directions and transition points can be tuned on-the-fly by adjusting the external magnetic field orientation and strength, respectively.
