Gallium-Based Liquid Metals: From Properties to Applications.
Review in Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Gallium-based liquid metals have garnered significant attention due to their distinct combination of metallic and liquid behavior at room temperature. This review systematically examines the fundamental properties and advanced multifunctional applications of this class of materials. Key characteristics such as low melting point, excellent fluidity, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and biocompatibility are first highlighted. Subsequently, progress in four major application areas is discussed. In sensing, these materials enable the fabrication of highly compliant and responsive devices capable of monitoring strain, temperature, and electromagnetic fields. Within biomedical engineering, their inherent low toxicity and biocompatibility underpin advances in biosensing platforms, precision drug delivery, and engineered tissue scaffolds. For energy-related applications, they are utilized in batteries and high-efficiency thermoelectric systems for converting heat into electricity. In catalysis, their dynamic and tunable interfaces facilitate efficient carbon dioxide conversion and selective thermocatalytic reactions. This review summarizes current advances in the application of gallium-based liquid metals and provides critical perspectives on future developments and opportunities in this technology.
