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

Perception of surface adhesion is one essential capability of a human fingertip, which is normally realized by touching the target surface with subsequent skin vibrations. However, such functionality is difficult to realize in flexible sensors and robotic systems due to the challenges in axial stretchability with reliable electrical feedback. In this study, we developed a bionic three-dimensional flexible magnetized spring (3D-FMS) that can quantitatively recognize surface adhesion based on electromagnetic induction. Combined with the laser processing with predefined patterns, we show that a raw flexible cube can be converted to highly stretchable spring-like geometry with excellent bidirectional deformation in axial orientation. Furthermore, the mechanical elongation caused by adhesion is critical for the induced voltage signals, allowing us to establish a model that relates adhesion strength with electrical outputs in a linear behavior. Via optimization of the process parameters, the device exhibits tailored stiffness to modulate the sensing sensitivity and working range on demand. With the established interactive interface, the wearable tests and robotic integration demonstrate the potential of the 3D-FMS for adhesion perception as a human fingertip. We expect that the strategy will offer a valuable reference to explore 3D wearable devices that advances robotic systems with more bionic functions such as stickiness determination.
