Bioinspired photoresponsive soft robotic lens.
Article in Science robotics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Vision is a critical sensory function for humans, animals, and engineered systems, enabling environmental perception essential for imaging and autonomous operation. Although bioinspired, tunable optical systems have advanced adaptability and performance, challenges remain in achieving biocompatibility, robust yet flexible construction, and specialized multifunctionality. Here, we present a photoresponsive hydrogel soft lens (PHySL) that combines optical tunability, an all-solid configuration, and high resolution. PHySL leverages a dynamic hydrogel actuator that autonomously harnesses optical energy, enabling substantial focal tuning through all-optical control. Beyond mimicking biological vision, the system achieves advanced functionalities, including focus control, wavefront engineering, and optical steering by responding to spatiotemporal light stimuli. PHySL highlights the potential of optically powered soft robotics applied in soft vision systems, autonomous soft robots, adaptive medical devices, and next-generation wearable systems.
