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.

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
Locusts are a kind of agile insects that can move and maneuver so efficiently in the unstructured terrain and complex environment. This marvel survivability of locusts benefits from their flying-jumping multi-modal locomotion. But until recently, the main influences of the locomotion performance are still a controversial and unknown issue. In this paper, the idea of hybrid inspired method that combines biologically inspired robot with robot inspired biology was proposed to explore the principle of flying-jumping locomotion of locusts. Firstly, we analyzed the influence of leg burrs and flapping wings on the jumping performance by the biological experiments. Nevertheless, individual heterogeneity and uncontrollability of locusts result in the unconvincing results of biological experiments. Therefore, according to the thought of robotics-inspired biology, we proposed and built a locust-inspired robot with flying-jumping locomotion via the principle of metamorphic mechanism based on the biological-inspired robot. Lastly, the preliminary robotic experiments were carried out to validate our thought that the flapping wings and leg burrs of locust have a great influence on the jumping performance. This robotics-inspired biology method remedied the shortcomings of biological experiments through the consistency and controllability of the robot experiments. Meanwhile, through the hybrid inspired research, the results show both the leg burrs and flapping wings can help the locust jump longer and improve the stability by adjusting the landing attitude to some extent, while the biological experiments dedicate that the locust with leg burrs and wings have the self-stability ability.
