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

Electronic-free controls have recently emerged as one of the main topics in soft robotics. However, electronic-free fluidic circuits still lack controllability and reconfigurability to achieve different functions. Here, reconfigurable pneumatic valves that widen the design space of fluidic circuits are presented. The significance of two parameters on the valve's operation: a pre-defined manufacturing parameter that sets the initial operational range of the valve, and a second, on-the-fly modifiable geometric parameter that shifts the behavior of the valve during operation is shown. It is demonstrated that equipping the valve with these reconfigurable features enables the tuning of fluidic oscillatory circuits as illustrated by two examples: a frequency-controlled relaxation oscillator and a reconfigurable ring oscillator. The relaxation oscillator is employed to control the actuation frequency of a soft hopper, which is able to achieve 80 to 125 hops min
