Hovering flight regulation of pigeon robots in laboratory and field.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Compared to traditional bio-mimic robots, animal robots show superior locomotion, energy efficiency, and adaptability to complex environments but most remained in laboratory stage, needing further development for practical applications like exploration and inspection. Our pigeon robots validated in both laboratory and field, tested with an electrical stimulus unit (2-s duration, 0.5 ms pulse width, 80 Hz frequency). In a fixed stimulus procedure, hovering flight was conducted with 8 stimulus units applied every 2 s after flew over the trigger boundary. In a flexible procedure, stimulus was applied whenever they deviated from a virtual circle, with pulse width gains of 0.1 ms or 0.2 ms according to the trajectory angle. These optimized protocols achieved a success hovering rate of 87.5% and circle curvatures of 0.008 m-1-0.024 m-1, largely advancing the practical application of animal robots.
