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

Functional soft materials, exhibiting multiple types of deformation, have shown their potential/abilities to achieve complicated biomimetic behaviors (soft robots). Inspired by the locomotion of earthworm, which is conducted through the contraction and stretching between body segments, this study proposes a type of one-piece-mold folded diaphragm, consisting of the structure of body segments with radial magnetization property, to achieve large 3D and bi-directional deformation with inside-volume change capability subjected to the low homogeneous magnetically driving field (40 mT). Moreover, the appearance based on the proposed magnetic-driven folded diaphragm is able to be easily customized to desired ones and then implanted into different untethered soft robotic systems as soft drivers. To verify the above points, we design the diaphragm pump providing unique properties of lightweight, powerful output and rapid response, and the soft robot including the bio-earthworm crawling robot and swimming robot inspired by squid to exhibit the flexible and rapid locomotion excited by single homogeneous magnetic fields.
