Laser Micromachining for Bioelectronics: Past, Present, and Future.
Review in Small methods, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Laser micromachining has emerged over the last decade as a practical alternative to costly, complex photolithography, and to low-resolution printing, for the manufacture of myriad bioelectronic devices. Here, the introduction and development of laser micromachining for bioelectronics is reviewed, and the direction of travel for this fabrication approach is considered. The authors start with early, semi-manual work on laser cutting metal and silicon foils for cochlear and retinal implants, discuss the development of true laser-based lithographic analogues for thin-film material processing, and look at recent work leveraging the localized photothermal effects of lasers to fundamentally alter material properties. The discussion is framed around the various laser systems employed to achieve specific outcomes to inform the reader's choice of system for their own experimental needs.
