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

Unmanned aerial vehicles have undergone substantial development and market growth recently. With research focusing on improving control strategies for better user experience, feedback systems, which are vital for operator awareness of surroundings and flight status, remain underdeveloped. Current bulky manipulators also hinder accuracy and usability. Here, we present an enhanced human-machine interface based on skin-integrated multimodal sensing and feedback devices for closed-loop drone control. This system captures hand gestures for intuitive, rapid, and precise control. An integrated tactile actuator array translates the drone's posture into two-dimensional tactile information, enhancing the operator's perception of the flight situation. Integrated obstacle detection and neuromuscular electrical stimulation-based force feedback system enable collision avoidance and flight path correction. This closed-loop system combines intuitive controls and multimodal feedback to reduce training time and cognitive load while improving flight stability, environmental awareness, and the drone's posture. The use of stretchable electronics also addresses wearability and bulkiness issues in traditional systems, advancing human-machine interface design.
