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

Wrist movements play a crucial role in upper-limb motor tasks. As prosthetic and robotic hand technologies have evolved, increasing attention has been focused on replicating the anatomy and functionality of the wrist. Closely imitating the biomechanics and movement mechanisms of human limbs is expected to enhance the overall performance of bionic robotic hands. This study presents the design of a tendon-driven bionic spherical robot wrist, utilizing two pairs of cables that mimic antagonist muscle pairs. The cables are actuated by pulleys driven by servo motors, allowing for two primary wrist motions: flexion-extension and ulnar-radial deviation. The performance Please confirm if the "1583 Iiyama" is necessary. Same as belowof the proposed robot wrist is validated through manipulation experiments using a prototype, demonstrating its capability to achieve a full range of motion for both ulnar and radial deviation. This wrist mechanism is expected to be integrated into robotic systems, enabling greater flexibility and more human-like movement capabilities.
