Grip and manipulation forces are controlled independently in a coupled bimanual task.
Article in Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation, 2025. 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
backgroundGrasping and manipulating objects requires humans to adapt both grip and manipulation forces. When handling an object with both hands, the additional degrees of freedom introduce more levels to the redundancy of the object manipulation since we can distribute the contribution of the grip and manipulation forces between hands.
methodsIn this study, we investigated the forces produced by both hands during coupled bimanual manipulation of a needle object in a virtual environment. The task objective was to puncture a virtual tissue, modeled as a linear spring, and stop immediately after, with the hands arranged in front and back positions in the movement direction.
resultsWe show that during tissue interaction, grip forces are modulated consistently between front and back hands across participants, but manipulation forces are not. That is, the back hand consistently produced excessive grip force compared to the front hand regardless of hand configuration, while manipulation force distribution between the two hands was variable. After the tissue puncture, we again observed consistent grip force behavior during the reactive response to the force drop following the puncture. The grip force signal exhibited a consistent temporal profile in both the front and back hands with amplitude modulation according to the tissue stiffness in the front hand.
conclusionsOverall, our results support the idea of distinct control mechanisms for grip and manipulation forces which rely on hand position rather than hand dominance.
