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

The anthropomorphic hand plays a crucial role in human-machine interaction tasks. However, there are very few hands that realize multimodal perception with high degrees of freedom (DOF) in a low-cost way. Here, we present a dexterous hand that achieves multimodal sensing solely through a camera. The hand has 18 DOF but does not require any position or force sensors, making it cost-effective and easy to manufacture. We develop an integrated forearm for the hand that provides both actuation and multimodal sensing information simultaneously. This includes the 18 joint angles, 5 fingertip positions and contact forces, and information on object softness and contour. The core principle of perception is that the camera can track the displacement and tension of all tendons simultaneously. The multimodal perception model is developed by characterizing tendon properties and coupling them with the hand dynamics. Experiments indicate that our hand has potential in multimodal sensing and dexterity.
