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

Bio-inspired and multi-modal microrobots have shown great potential in the field of biomedical and tissue engineering in recent years. Motivated by the efficiency and adaptability of nature, bio-inspired designs offer exciting possibilities. Multi-modal actuation systems offer the advantages of versatility and flexibility. Here, we propose a biped magneto-acoustic driven microwalker that can potentially perform micromanipulation. The microwalker mimics the walking motion of biped walkers, driven by oscillating magnetic fields, enabling a straight gait, while the acoustic fields drive the microrobots at high speeds. We demonstrate the microwalker's capability through the manipulation of Chinese Hamster Ovary cells and colloidal particles, highlighting its potential in micromanipulation and biomedical applications.
