Biomimetic Tactile Sensors with Bilayer Fingerprint Ridges Demonstrating Texture Recognition.
Article in Micromachines, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
In this article, we report on a biomimetic tactile sensor that has a surface kinetic interface (SKIN) that imitates human epidermal fingerprint ridges and the epidermis. The SKIN is composed of a bilayer polymer structure with different elastic moduli. We improved the tactile sensitivity of the SKIN by using a hard epidermal fingerprint ridge and a soft epidermal board. We also evaluated the effectiveness of the SKIN layer in shear transfer characteristics while varying the elasticity and geometrical factors of the epidermal fingerprint ridges and the epidermal board. The biomimetic tactile sensor with the SKIN layer showed a detection capability for surface structures under 100 μm with only 20-μm height differences. Our sensor could distinguish various textures that can be easily accessed in everyday life, demonstrating that the sensor may be used for texture recognition in future artificial and robotic fingers.
