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

Today, most humanoid mechanical fingers use an underactuated mechanism driven by linkages or tendons, with only a single and fixed grasping trajectory. This paper proposes a new multi-mode humanoid finger mechanism based on linkage and tendon fusion transmission, which is embedded with an adjustable-length tendon mechanism to achieve three types of grasping mode. The structural parameters of the mechanism are optimized according to the kinematic and static models. Furthermore, a discussion was conducted on how to set the speed ratio of the linkage driving motor and the tendon driving motor to adjust the length and tension of the tendon, in order to achieve the switching of the shape-adaptive, coupled-adaptive, and variable coupling-adaptive grasping modes. Finally, the multi-mode functionality of the proposed finger mechanism was verified through multiple grasping experiments.
