Optical Lace for Synthetic Afferent Neural Networks.
Article in Science robotics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
While vision dominates sensing in robots, animals with limited vision deftly navigate their environment using other forms of perception such as touch. Efforts have been made to apply artificial skins with tactile sensing to robots for similarly sophisticated mobile and manipulative skills. The ability to functionally mimic the afferent sensory neural network, required for distributed sensing and communication networks throughout the body is still missing. This limitation is partially due to the lack of cointegration of the mechanosensors in the body of the robot. In this paper, lacings of stretchable optical fibers distributed throughout 3D printed elastomer frameworks create a cointegrated body, sensing, and communication network. This soft, functional structure can localize deformation with sub-millimeter positional accuracy (Err = 0.71 mm), and sub-Newton force resolution (~0.3 N).
