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 paper, a piezoelectric microgripper for arbitrary 2D trajectory is proposed. The desired trajectory of the specimen under consideration was obtained by the deformability of a structure consisting of 16 straight beams and 12 C-structures. The mechanical action that deforms the structure was obtained by an electrical voltage supplied to piezoelectric plates. In order to verify the proposed model a FEM software (COMSOL) was used and some of the most commonly used trajectories for medical applications, micropositioning, micro-object manipulation, etc., were examined. The results showed that the proposed microgripper was capable of generating any parametrizable trajectory. Parametric studies were also carried out by examining the most relevant parameters highlighting their influence on specimen trajectories.
