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

The fourth industrial revolution witnessed significant advancements in automating numerous aircraft inspection tasks. Still, certain critical procedures continue to rely on manual execution, including the aero-engine blade weighing process. This task is of paramount importance for blade mass inspection and engine dynamic balancing. Yet, automation of aero-engine blade weighing remains a challenge due to the intricate geometry of engine blades, and the stringent requirements on precision. To address this gap, this paper introduces, for the first time, a vision-guided robotic system for autonomous aero-engine blade weighing. The proposed system presents a novel end-effector design incorporating a high-precision load cell for accurate and rapid weighing coupled with an imaging sensor for autonomous robotic perception capabilities. The system is tested in industrial settings, and the results show a high weighing precision and accuracy of 0.0404 g and of 0.0252 g, respectively. Our system offers the advantage of seamless integration into existing industrial setups without the need for facility reconfiguration. Video Link.
