A magnetically controlled soft robotic glove for hand rehabilitation.
Article in Device, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
For individuals with hand motor function losses, rehabilitation is necessary for regaining strength and range of motion to accomplish daily activities. Typically within a clinical setting, repetitive strength-based and task-specific exercises are prescribed. However, these therapies are generally costly and non-portable, limiting patient accessibility and rendering patient compliance impractical. There is thus a clinical need for a system that is low-cost, portable, and accessible to improve patient compliance and outcomes. This work presents a proof-of-concept magnetically-controlled glove to provide targeted resistance-based rehabilitation for patients with hand motor impairments. The glove is inexpensive, customizable, and portable, allowing for use within a clinic and at home. Customizable resistance is achieved by electropermanent magnets (EPMs), which locally control magnetic attraction of the digits and produce rapid stiffness changes from magnetically induced jamming. Various rehabilitative exercises using the glove are demonstrated and the magnetic fields can be customized to provide necessary resistance.
