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

Snap-through bistability was widely exploited for rapid hopping in micro-electro-mechanical systems and soft robots. However, considerable energy input was required to trigger the transition between discrete buckling states blocked by potential wells. Here a dynamic buckling mechanism of a buckled blister constrained inside an outer ring is explored for eliciting rotary actuation via a localized change of curvature in the blister. Due to rotational invariance of the buckled blister, lower energy supply is required to initiate the snap-through of buckling compared to conventional bistable mechanism. The controllability in rotational speed and output torque of the bimetallic blister-based rotator inside a rigid stator is exhibited, and the locomotion is demonstrated with two elastic rings via localized pneumatic actuators. With broad choices of stimulus and material for rings, the findings illustrate the promising potential of two nested rings to create active motions for diverse applications including gearless motors, peristaltic pumps, and locomotive robots.
