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
Various studies have explored mechanical impedance control strategies in soft actuators to enhance stability and precision, as the nonlinear characteristics of soft materials frequently lead to unwanted oscillations. Among these approaches, electrostatic (ES) clutches have shown promise for achieving friction-based mechanical impedance control; however, conventional ES clutches are limited by issues such as residual charge accumulation and stick-slip behavior, which compromise force stability and reliability over time. To address these limitations, this study introduces a three-phase ES clutch with variable mechanical impedance control, designed to enable continuous friction modulation and thereby reduce force degradation and oscillatory motion. Experimental validation was conducted through tensile tests and mechanical impedance applications in a vibration system. These findings suggest that the proposed three-phase ES clutch offers a robust and adaptable solution for friction modulation and mechanical impedance in soft robotic and wearable systems, effectively addressing the key limitations of conventional ES clutch technology.
