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

Continuum robots with their inherent compliance provide the potential for crossing narrow unstructured workspace and safely grasping various objects. However, the display gripper increases the size of the robots, and therefore, it tends to get stuck in constrained environments. This paper proposes a versatile continuum grasping robot (CGR) with a concealable gripper. The CGR can capture large objects with respect to the robot's scale using the continuum manipulator and can grasp various objects using the end concealable gripper especially in narrow and unstructured workspaces. To perform the cooperative operation of the concealable gripper and the continuum manipulator, a global kinematic model based on screw theory and a motion planning approach referred to as "multi-node synergy method" for the CGR are presented. The simulation and experimental results show that objects of different shapes and sizes can be captured by the same CGR even in complex and narrow environments. Finally, in the future, the CGR is expected to serve for satellite capture in harsh space environments such as high vacuum, strong radiation, and extreme temperatures.
