Smart Nursing Wheelchairs: A New Trend in Assisted Care and the Future of Multifunctional Integration.
Review in Biomimetics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
As a significant technological innovation in the fields of medicine and geriatric care, smart care wheelchairs offer a novel approach to providing high-quality care services and improving the quality of care. The aim of this review article is to examine the development, applications and prospects of smart nursing wheelchairs, with particular emphasis on their assistive nursing functions, multiple-sensor fusion technology, and human-machine interaction interfaces. First, we describe the assistive functions of nursing wheelchairs, including position changing, transferring, bathing, and toileting, which significantly reduce the workload of nursing staff and improve the quality of care. Second, we summarized the existing multiple-sensor fusion technology for smart nursing wheelchairs, including LiDAR, RGB-D, ultrasonic sensors, etc. These technologies give wheelchairs autonomy and safety, better meeting patients' needs. We also discussed the human-machine interaction interfaces of intelligent care wheelchairs, such as voice recognition, touch screens, and remote controls. These interfaces allow users to operate and control the wheelchair more easily, improving usability and maneuverability. Finally, we emphasized the importance of multifunctional-integrated care wheelchairs that integrate assistive care, navigation, and human-machine interaction functions into a comprehensive care solution for users. We are looking forward to the future and assume that smart nursing wheelchairs will play an increasingly important role in medicine and geriatric care. By integrating advanced technologies such as enhanced artificial intelligence, intelligent sensors, and remote monitoring, we expect to further improve patients' quality of care and quality of life.
