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.
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
Animal joint motion is a combination of rotation and translational motion, which brings high stability, high energy utilization, and other advantages. At present, the hinge joint is widely used in the legged robot. The simple motion characteristic of the hinge joint rotating around the fixed axis limits the improvement of the robot's motion performance. In this paper, by imitating the knee joint of a kangaroo, we propose a new bionic geared five-bar knee joint mechanism to improve the energy utilization rate of the legged robot and reduce the required driving power. Firstly, based on image processing technology, the trajectory curve of the instantaneous center of rotation (ICR) of the kangaroo knee joint was quickly obtained. Then, the bionic knee joint was designed by the single-degree-of-freedom geared five-bar mechanism and the parameters for each part of the mechanism were optimized. Finally, based on the inverted pendulum model and the Newton-Euler recursive method, the dynamics model of the single leg of the robot in the landing stage was established, and the influence of the designed bionic knee joint and hinge joint on the robot's motion performance was compared and analyzed. The proposed bionic geared five-bar knee joint mechanism can more closely track the given trajectory of the total center of mass motion, has abundant motion characteristics, and can effectively reduce the power demand and energy consumption of the robot knee actuators under the high-speed running and jumping gait.
