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

Magnetic ball chains are well suited to serve as the steerable tips of endoluminal robots. While it has been demonstrated that these robots produce a larger reachable workspace than magnetic soft continuum robots designed using either distributed or lumped magnetic material, here we investigate the orientational capabilities of these robots. To increase the range of orientations that can be produced at each point in the workspace, we introduce a comparatively-stiff outer sheath from which the steerable ball chain is extended. We present an energy-based kinematic model and also derive an approximate expression for the range of achievable orientations at each point in the workspace. Experiments are used to validate these results.
