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

Compliant mechanisms are popular to the applications of micro/nanoscale manipulations. This paper proposes a novel triaxial parallel-kinematic compliant manipulator inspired by the Tripteron mechanism. Compared to most conventional triaxial compliant mechanisms, the proposed manipulator has the merits of structure compactness and being free of assembly error due to its unique configuration and the utilize of 3D printing technology. The compliance matrix modeling method is employed to determine the input stiffness of the compliant manipulator, and it is verified by finite-element analysis (FEA). Results show that the deviations between simulation works and the derived analytical models are in an acceptable range. The simulation results also reveal that the compliant manipulator can achieve a 16 μm × 16 μm × 16 μm cubic workspace. In this motion range, the observed maximum stress is much lower than the yield strength of the material. Moreover, the dynamic characteristics of the manipulator are investigated via the simulations as well.
