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

This paper presents a robotic structure that combines modular design with low energy consumption and a large workspace, suitable for both mobile and fixed platforms. It primarily consists of pitch joint modules and yaw joint modules. The yaw joint module employs a novel single-motor dual-axis configuration design, which effectively increases the yaw range and expands the robot's workspace compared to traditional yaw joint structures. The pitch joint module is designed based on a parallelogram structure and is diagonally driven by an electric cylinder. By incorporating a spring installed in parallel with the electric cylinder, a Parallel Elastic Actuator is formed, achieving the goal of low energy consumption. Comparative analysis demonstrates that the proposed robot has certain advantages in terms of workspace and energy consumption for the pitch joint module. A robot prototype was constructed and tested, and the results indicate that the robot can successfully complete target grasping tasks, the yaw joint can achieve large-angle yaw movements, and the energy consumption of the new pitch joint module is reduced by 47.02%.
