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

High compliance and muscle-alike soft robotic grippers have shown promising performance in addressing the challenges in traditional rigid grippers. Nevertheless, a lack of control feedback (gasping speed and contact force) in a grasping operation can result in undetectable slipping and false positioning. In this study, a pneumatically driven and self-powered soft robotic gripper that can recognize the grabbed object is reported. We integrated pressure (P-TENG) and bend (B-TENG) triboelectric sensors into a soft robotic gripper to transduce the features of gripped objects in a pick-and-place operation. Both the P-TENG and B-TENG sensors are fabricated using a porous structure made of soft Ecoflex and Euthethic Gallium-Indium nanocomposite (Eco-EGaIn). The output voltage of this porous setup has been improved by 63%, as compared to the non-porous structure. The developed soft gripper successfully recognizes three different objects, cylinder, cuboid, and pyramid prism, with a good accuracy of 91.67% and has shown its potential to be beneficial in the assembly lines, sorting, VR/AR application, and education training.
