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

Soft fluidic systems can be a versatile tool to design human-machine interfaces such as hydraulic actuators, liquid displays, and thermal haptics. Yet the bulkiness, noise, and rigidity of pumps and valves required for fluid circulation prevent their use in flexible and portable devices. This study introduces an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) driven flexible pump with resilience against dielectric breakdown. Previous EHD pumps, despite their excellent features such as quietness and high power density, suffer from dielectric breakdowns and subsequent permanent failures. This pump with novel electrode construction has the passive resilience to recover the insulation essential for EHD without any external input in the event of dielectric breakdown. The passive resilience of our pump is demonstrated in various scenarios. Notably, this pump withstands 100 dielectric breakdowns and maintains 90% of its performance. An active resilient system is also configured to enable continuous pumping. This system automatically removes bubbles and other impurities to recover flow generation. This pumps drive various soft fluid-driven human-machine interfaces like soft actuators, prosthetic hands, and tube-format displays. The combination of passive resilience inherent in the pump and active resilience configured by the system ensures adaptability and robustness, setting the stage for the next generation of human-machine interfaces.
