Fabric integrated wearable glove with a twisted string actuator for manual handling tasks.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Wearable robotic gloves with grip-assistive functionality offer a promising solution for high-intensity manual tasks. However, achieving a balance among lightweight design, adequate force generation, and dexterous hand movement in wearable robotic gloves remains a significant challenge. In this study, we developed a fabric-integrated TSA-Glove to provide task-specific assistance while preserving dexterous movement. A high force-density Twisted String Actuator (TSA) was designed based on task-oriented parameters and strategically integrated into selected fabric materials to ensure efficient force transmission, flexibility, and lightweight performance. Additionally, an embedded routing design enhanced hand dexterity and TSA durability. The gloves were evaluated through grip force measurements, muscle activation analysis, and dexterity assessments. Compared to industrial gloves, the TSA-Glove demonstrated an 11.20% improvement in maximum grip force and a 18.02% smaller decrease in Maximal Voluntary Contraction (%MVC) values. The dexterity test further confirmed its improved performance, even with similar thickness. These results validate the TSA-Glove as a lightweight, task-optimized system, effectively supporting repetitive and physically demanding manual tasks.
