Micro/nano-robotic medical device: preparation, actuation mechanisms and their applications in medicine.
Review in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hydrogels feature a unique three-dimensional crosslinked network integrated with responsive chemical functional groups, enabling them to undergo structural and functional transitions under various external stimuli, including chemical energy, temperature, light, pH, ultrasound, magnetic fields, and ions. These transformations arise from mechanisms such as molecular conformational changes, bond formation or cleavage, and ion exchange. Recent advances in micro/nanorobotics have led to the development of hydrogel-based micro/nano-robotic medical devices that combine excellent biocompatibility with multi-modal actuation, allowing adaptation to diverse environments and precise task execution. This review summarizes current progress in hydrogel micro/nano-robotic medical device research, with a focus on multi-drive synergistic strategies and advantages of composite hydrogel designs. Fabrication techniques, driving mechanisms, and biomedical applications-including targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and
