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

Aiming at the status of muscle and joint damage caused on surgeons keeping surgical posture for a long time, this paper designs a medical multi-position auxiliary support exoskeleton with multi-joint mechanism by analyzing the surgical postures and conducting conformational studies on different joints respectively. Then by establishing a human-machine static model, this study obtains the joint torque and joint force before and after the human body wears the exoskeleton, and calibrates the strength of the exoskeleton with finite element analysis software. The results show that the maximum stress of the exoskeleton is less than the material strength requirements, the overall deformation is small, and the structural strength of the exoskeleton meets the use requirements. Finally, in this study, subjects were selected to participate in the plantar pressure test and biomechanical simulation with the man-machine static model, and the results were analyzed in terms of plantar pressure, joint torque and joint force, muscle force and overall muscle metabolism to assess the exoskeleton support performance. The results show that the exoskeleton has better support for the whole body and can reduce the musculoskeletal burden. The exoskeleton mechanism in this study better matches the actual working needs of surgeons and provides a new paradigm for the design of medical support exoskeleton mechanism.
