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

Liquid-metal-based magnetic droplet robot attract considerable attentions due to their noncontact operation, rapid response, strong maneuverability, and deformability. However, prolonged use leads to gradual alloying between the liquid-metal and magnetic particles, which causes a progressive decline in magnetic performance until complete loss. In this work, we report a strategy to address both the alloying and interfacial nonwettability between the liquid-metal and magnetic particles via a poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) layer onto the magnetic particles via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Subsequently, liquid-metal-based magnetic droplet robot was constructed to perform rapid locomotion and targeted cargo transport in complex environments under actuation of external magnetic field. Finally, liquid-metal-based magnetic droplet robot can achieve reversible circuit switching or long-term repair of damaged circuits. This work presents a new methodology for fabricating liquid-metal-magnetic particle composites. The resultant droplet robot exhibit outstanding performance, thereby holding significant promise for future use in biomedical, electronic, and related fields.
