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

The scaling effects make energy supply a fundamental challenge for achieving autonomy in insect-scale robotics. Inspired by the multifunctionality of biological tissue, dual-function structural-electrochemical integration based on a microfluidic aluminum-air battery (MFAAB) paves a promising path toward energy autonomy in insect-scale robotics. However, suboptimal mono-surface anode utilization and restricted microfluidic transport dynamics of conventional AABs accelerate passivation and byproduct accumulation, hindering output performance. Here, we proposed and developed a centimeter-size MFAAB with dual reaction surfaces for anode, and decompose byproduct accumulation via F
