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

Unlike tactile displays that use mechanical actuators, electrode-type tactile displays can be easily integrated and miniaturized because they consist of electrodes and insulators. Electrical tactile displays only require electrodes and use an electric current to stimulate vibration or pressure. Likewise, electrostatic friction tactile displays also only require electrodes and an insulator and can induce changes in friction between the display and a fingerpad. We have developed a tactile display that integrates electrical and electrostatic friction stimulation owing to their affinity to microfabrication techniques. This tactile display can provide both pressure and friction at the same time. In this study, we presented an elongated bar shape via the tactile display to experimental participants. The experimental results showed that a tactile display employing multiple stimuli as opposed to a single stimulus can induce the perception of larger shapes.
