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

In the field of robotics, sensors are crucial in enabling the interaction between robots and their users. To ensure this interaction, sensors mainly measure the user's strength, and based on this, wearable robots are controlled. In this paper, we propose a novel three-axis force/torque sensor for wearable robots that is compact and has a high load capacity. The bolt and nut combination of the proposed sensor is designed to measure high-load weights, and the simple structure of this combination allows the sensor to be compact and light. Additionally, to measure the three-axis force/torque, we design three capacitance-sensing cells. These cells are arranged in parallel to measure the difference in capacitance between the positive and negative electrodes. From the capacitance change measured by these sensing cells, force/torque information is converted through deep neural network calibration. The sensing point can also be confirmed using the geometric and kinematic relation of the sensor. The proposed sensor is manufactured through a simple and inexpensive process using cheap and simply structured components. The performance of the sensor, such as its repeatability and capacity, is evaluated using several experimental setups. In addition, the sensor is applied to a wearable robot to measure the force of an artificial muscle.
