Dynamically reconfigurable shape-morphing and tactile display via hydraulically coupled mergeable and splittable PVC gel actuator.
Article in Science advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Shape-morphing displays alter their surface geometry to convey information through three-dimensional shapes. However, rapid transformation into seamless shapes with multimodal tactile sensations poses challenges. Here, we introduce a versatile soft shape-morphing and tactile display, using a novel actuator that combines a PVC gel composite, dielectric liquid, and an electrode array. Proposed device facilitates on-demand liquid flow control through electrohydraulic actuation. Liquid channels within the device can be dynamically reconfigured using localized electrostatic zipping, enabling swift shape morphing and reconfiguration into diverse seamless 3D shapes. Our device achieves a large deformation and high output force, in a slim and lightweight framework. It also offers various haptic feedback, including dynamic tactile patterns and vibrations for localizable surface textures on the morphed shape. Additionally, its potential in robotics was demonstrated through high-speed object manipulation, leveraging liquid flow-induced inertia. In summary, our innovative soft shape-morphing tactile display could open new ways that we interact with technology, offering a more immersive and intuitive experience.
