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

Haptic technology has the potential to bring tactile richness to touchscreens on smartphones, tablets, and laptops, unlocking new dimensions for digital interaction and communication. Yet, despite notable advancements in visual resolution, the resolution of tactile pixels-referred to as "taxels"-lags significantly behind, limiting the immersive tactile feedback required for a truly enriched user experience. To bridge this gap, the study presents a transparent haptic interface with a 3D architecture that dynamically reconfigures high-resolution taxels through a densely integrated actuator array. Each actuator can be precisely inflated through fluid pressure to deliver tactile feedback with exceptional clarity and density, surpassing both the tactile perception and two-point discrimination thresholds of human fingertips. This haptic interface reveals transformative potential for enhancing touchscreen interactions in applications such as touch panel control, virtual exploration, and gaming, as it can be reversibly attached to various touchscreens and create nuanced topographical features that align with on-screen visuals.
