Design of a noninvasive and smart hand tremor attenuation system with active control: a simulation study.
Article in Medical & biological engineering & computing, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
This paper presents the design and simulation of a handheld device for people with hand tremor, such as Parkinson's and essential tremor patients. This device can be used as a pen for smartphones or as a spoon. The designed system includes two links, which are connected to two servomotors, which are mounted in orthogonal directions. To attenuate the effect of hand tremor on the tip of device, PID and computed torque methods are used to actively control the system. These controllers are used to control the rotation of the motors for moving the links in opposite directions of the hand tremor. Performance of the device with mentioned controllers is studied for different applications and finally, the results of both controllers are discussed and compared. Based on the presented results in this study, the designed device is able to suppress the hand tremor up to 75% during eating and 65% during following a spiral pattern.
