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

Bowden-cable-actuated soft exoskeleton robots are known for their light weight and flexibility of power transmission during rehabilitation training or movement assistance for humans. However, friction-induced nonlinearity of the Bowden transmission cable and gearbox backlash pose great challenges forprecise tracking control of the exoskeleton robot. In this paper, we proposed the design of a learning-based repetitive controller which could compensate for the non-linearcable friction and gearbox backlash in an iterative manner. Unlike most of the previous control schemes, the presented controller does not require apriori knowledge or intensive modeling of the friction and backlash inside the exoskeleton transmission system. Instead, it uses the iterative learning control (ILC)to adaptively update the reference trajectory so that the output hysteresis caused by friction and backlashis minimized. In particular, a digital phase-lead compensator was designed and integrated with the ILC to address the issue of backlash delay and improve the stability and tracking performance. Experimental results showed an average of seven iterations for the convergence of learning and a 91.1% reduction in the RMS tracking error (~1.37 deg) compared with the conventional PD control. The proposed controller design offers promising options for the realization of lightweight, wearable exoskeletons with high tracking accuracies.
