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

Soft robotics faces challenges in attaining control methods that ensure precision from hard-to-model actuators and sensors. This study focuses on closed-chain control of a segment of PAUL, a modular pneumatic soft arm, using elastomeric-based resistive sensors with negative piezoresistive behaviour irrespective of ambient temperature. PAUL's performance relies on bladder inflation and deflation times. The control approach employs two neural networks: the first translates position references into valve inflation times, and the second acts as a state observer to estimate bladder inflation times using sensor data. Following training, the system achieves position errors of 4.59 mm, surpassing the results of other soft robots presented in the literature. The study also explores system modularity by assessing performance under external loads from non-actuated segments.
