Preliminary evaluation of an automated robotic transfer assist device in the home setting.
Article in Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to examine the effects of six weeks of routine use of a novel robotic transfer device, the AgileLife Patient Transfer System, on mobility-related health outcomes, task demand, and satisfaction relative to previous transfer methods. MATERIALS AND
methodsSix end users and five caregivers used the system in their homes for six weeks. Participants completed several surveys examining perceived demands related to preparing and performing a transfer and mobility-related health outcomes pre and post intervention. Participants were also asked about their satisfaction with using the technology compared to previous transfer methods.
resultsBoth end users and caregivers reported reduction in perceived physical demand (
conclusionThe AgileLife Patient Transfer System is a promising new form of transfer technology that may improve the mobility and mobility-related health of individuals with disabilities and their caregivers in home settings.Implications for rehabilitationRobotic transfer assistance reduced physical demand and work among end users and caregivers.The robotic device had a positive impact on some quality of life outcomes after 6 weeks of use.Users were highly likely to recommend the robotic transfer device to others.
