Fluoroscopic control of a magnetorobotic capsule for precision gastrointestinal sampling and delivery.
Article in iScience, 2026. 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
Untethered gastrointestinal (GI) devices for targeted diagnostics and interventions are constrained by limited capabilities for precise localization, controlled delivery, and reliable retrieval of liquid or gel-based payloads. Here, we introduce G-Bot, a magnetorobotic capsule that integrates fluoroscopic visibility, dual-regime magnetic actuation, and a low-cost, scalable design. The proposed actuation strategy enables decoupled orientation control and on-demand triggering of payload release or sampling. G-Bot provides sufficient radiographic contrast to support accurate manipulation under standard clinical C-arm. Device performance is evaluated in benchtop GI phantom models using samples spanning a range of viscosities under clinically relevant magnetic conditions, demonstrating image-guided sampling, targeted delivery, and feasibility for longitudinal GI monitoring.
