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
This paper presents the design and evaluation of a novel soft pneumatic actuator featuring two independent bending chambers, enabling independent joint actuation and localization for rehabilitation purposes. The actuator's dual-chamber configuration provides flexibility for applications requiring customized bending profiles. To measure the bending angle of the finger joints in real time, a camera-based system is employed, utilizing a deep learning detection model to localize the joints and estimate their bending angles. This approach provides a non-intrusive, sensor-free alternative to hardware-based measurement methods, reducing complexity and wiring typically associated with wearable devices. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed actuator in achieving bending angles of 105 degrees for the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint and 95 degrees for the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint, as well as a gripping force of 9.3 N. The vision system also captures bending angles with a precision of 98%, indicating potential applications in fields such as rehabilitation and human-robot interaction.
