Bacterial Minicell-Based Biohybrid Sub-micron Swimmers for Targeted Cargo Delivery.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Bacterial biohybrid microrobots possess significant potential for targeted cargo delivery and minimally invasive therapy. However, many challenges, such as biocompatibility, stability, and effective cargo loading, remain. Bacterial membrane vesicles, also referred to as minicells, offer a promising alternative for creating sub-micron scale biohybrid swimmers (minicell biohybrids) due to their active metabolism, non-dividing nature, robust structure, and high cargo-carrying capacity. Here, a biohybrid system is reported that utilizes motile minicells, ≈400 nm in diameter, generated by aberrant cell division of engineered Escherichia coli (E. coli), for the first time. Achieving over 99% purification from their parental bacterial cells, minicells are functionalized with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to enable external magnetic control. Minicell biohybrids are capable of swimming at an average speed of up to 13.3 µm s
