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

Biofidel measuring devices are used to validate safety in collaborative workplaces. In these workplaces, humans work together with robots that are equipped with a Power and Force Limiting function (PFL). In this experimental comparison, differences between devices and possible causes are examined more closely. Safety-related parameters are identified in a literature review. Focusing on mechanical aspects, three biofidel measuring devices are analysed and compared in an experimental test series. To this end, a linear motor and a pendulum are used and the steps for comparing concepts are proposed and applied. Depending on the stiffness settings and the materials used, geometry effects on the force-deformation behaviour are shown. An oscillation occurred in one case. The comparison of the three devices shows average differences of 5% in measured peak force between them. This study helps to achieve uniform and comparable results in practice.
