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

Rapid advancements in general-purpose humanoid robots have spurred extensive in-depth research on bionic vision systems (BVSs) with human-like ocular functions. However, fabricating a gram-weight miniature artificial eyeball integrated with optical imaging, dynamic field-of-view (FOV) modulation, and intelligent target tracking remains challenging. A biomimetic eyeball system (BES) based on the miniature origami mechanism (MOM) with three degrees of freedom (DOFs) is presented in this study to solve the inherent problems of traditional electromechanical BVSs (large volume and weight). The performance of BES in the FOV adjustment range (monocular exceeding 151.6° × 151.6°) not only precisely matches the physiological characteristics of the human eye but also offers advantages in overall size (Φ23 mm × 15 mm) and weight (1.8 g) over systems reported in current research. This system also performs high-speed movement (saccade, 4382°/s), dynamic imaging (smooth pursuit, 532°/s), interactive control under human-robot collaboration, and active zooming. It demonstrates target recognition, locking, and tracking abilities functionally equivalent to human smooth-pursuit movements in scenarios with active target locking based on visual attention mechanisms. This study overcomes the dual tradeoff between miniaturization and functional integrity in traditional BVSs through the novel visual solution that integrates spatial adaptability, motion compatibility, and cognitive decision-making capabilities.
