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

Gaze tracking is gaining relevance in collaborative robotics as a means to enhance human-machine interaction by enabling intuitive and non-verbal communication. This study explores the integration of human gaze into collaborative robotics by demonstrating the possibility of controlling a robotic manipulator with a practical and non-intrusive setup made up of a vision system and gaze-tracking software. After presenting a comparison between the major available systems on the market, OpenFace 2.0 was selected as the primary gaze-tracking software and integrated with a UR5 collaborative robot through a MATLAB-based control framework. Validation was conducted through real-world experiments, analyzing the effects of raw and filtered gaze data on system accuracy and responsiveness. The results indicate that gaze tracking can effectively guide robot motion, though signal processing significantly impacts responsiveness and control precision. This work establishes a foundation for future research on gaze-assisted robotic control, highlighting its potential benefits and challenges in enhancing human-robot collaboration.
