Magnetically levitated metasurface enabling tangible and bidirectional human-machine interaction.
Article in Science advances, 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
Mechanical metasurfaces are deformable surfaces that reconfigure their shape in response to external stimuli, with growing applications in interactive displays and human-machine interfaces. However, many existing systems are either too fragile for physical interaction or too slow to match human response. Moreover, their incompatibility for integrating functional systems constrains seamless interaction with humans. We developed a robust, rapidly responsive, and multifunctional soft metasurface capable of intuitive interaction with humans. The soft surface reconfigures through magnetic actuation, enabling mechanical metasurface functions with simultaneous visual and tactile feedback for human interaction. The system features a six-by-six array of elastomeric pixels, each actuated by attractive or repulsive magnetic forces from an underlying electromagnet array. The induced magnetic force modulates the surface height up to 8.5 millimeters (-5 to 3.5 millimeters), enabling coordinated actuation of 36 electromagnets to reconstruct over 10
