1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 article proposed a novel controller structure to track the non-linear behavior of the pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA), such as the elongation for the extensor actuator and bending for the bending PMA. The proposed controller consists of a neural network (NN) controller laid in parallel with the proportional controller (P). The parallel neural network proportional (PNNP) controllers provide a high level of precision and fast-tracking control system. The PNNP has been applied to control the length of the single extensor PMA and the bending angle of the single self-bending contraction actuator (SBCA) at different load values. For further validation, the PNNP has been applied to control a human-robot shared control system. The results show the efficiency of the proposed controller structure.
