1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Magnetically controlled capsule robots offer unique advantages for performing intestinal biopsies. In this paper, we propose a novel Magnetically Controlled Capsule Robot for Intestinal Biopsy (MCCR-IB), capable of both navigation and biopsy within the intestine. To address the coupling issue between locomotion control and biopsy control, a magnetic field locking method is also introduced. The locomotion performance, curved-passage capability, and biopsy ability were experimentally evaluated. Under a 7 Hz rotating magnetic field, the MCCR-IB achieved forward and backward velocities of 20.22 mm/s and 18.27 mm/s, respectively, with a biopsy needle puncture force of 1.99 N. Furthermore, ex vivo experiments were conducted to preliminarily verify the feasibility of the robot's motion and biopsy functions. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed MCCR-IB exhibits good performance and shows promising potential for future clinical applications.
