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

A hyper-redundant flexible manipulator is characterized by high degree(s) of freedom (DoF), flexibility, and environmental adaptability. It has been used for missions in complex and unknown spaces, such as debris rescue and pipeline inspection, where the manipulator is not intelligent enough to face complex situations. Therefore, human intervention is required to assist in decision-making and control. In this paper, we designed an interactive navigation method based on mixed reality (MR) of a hyper-redundant flexible manipulator in an unknown space. A novel teleoperation system frame is put forward. An MR-based interface was developed to provide a virtual model of the remote workspace and virtual interactive interface, allowing the operator to observe the real-time situation from a third perspective and issue commands to the manipulator. As for environmental modeling, a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm based on an RGB-D camera is applied. Additionally, a path-finding and obstacle avoidance method based on artificial potential field (APF) is introduced to ensure that the manipulator can move automatically under the artificial command in the remote space without collision. The results of the simulations and experiments validate that the system exhibits good real-time performance, accuracy, security, and user-friendliness.
