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 this study, an automated tableware tidying-up robot system was developed to tidy up tableware in a self-service restaurant with a large amount of tableware. This study focused on sorting and collecting tableware placed on trays detected by an RGB-D camera. Leftover food was also treated with this robot system. The RGB-D camera efficiently detected the position and height of the tableware and whether there was leftover food or not by image processing. A parallel arm and robot hand mechanism was designed to realize the advantages of a low cost and high processing speed. Two types of rotation mechanisms were designed to realize the function of throwing away leftover food. The effectiveness of the camera detection system was verified through the experiments of tableware and leftover food detection. The effectiveness of the prototype robot and the rotation assist mechanism was verified through the experiments of grasping tableware, throwing away leftover food by two types of rotating mechanisms, collecting multiple tableware, and the sorting of overlapping tableware with multiple robots.
