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

Tactility bridges humans and the external world. Although human skin's tactile receptors provide comprehensive perception, developing a biomimetic tactile system with both dynamic and static functions and rapid conversion remains a challenge. Here, we report a switchable dynamic-static tactile system. It features a rapid 1-millisecond transition between dynamic and static modes via light modulation, an all-in-one structure for simplicity and practicality, a remarkable balance of high sensitivity (198.45 per kilopascal) and wide pressure range (0.0137 to 207 kilopascals), a tunable sensitivity, and a sensing-feedback closed loop. The dynamic mode responds to vibrations, and the static mode responds to static pressure and superposition. In various real-world potential scenarios such as object detection and perception under vibration interference and human-computer interaction, it shows excellent performance. A closed-loop system with feedback and deep learning achieves user-encrypted Morse code haptic secret communication, paving the way for advancements in intelligence and virtual/augmented reality.
