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
Humanoid robots are the latest bet of the robotics community in advancing ways robots carry out a large variety of tasks that generate profit or increase quality of life for people. While their capabilities might extend to assistive care tasks, such as feeding, dressing, or household tasks, it is unclear if people are comfortable with having humanoid robots in their homes assisting with those tasks. In this paper we explore people's attitudes towards assistive humanoid robots in the the home. We present two questionnaire studies, with 76 total participants, in which people are shown imaginary images of humanoid robots performing assistance tasks in the home, along with special purpose robot alternatives. Participants are asked to rate and compare robots in the context of eight different tasks and share their reasoning. The second study also shows participants pictures of real humanoid robot both without any context and in the context of in-home assistance tasks, and asks their opinions about these robots. Our findings indicate that people prefer special purpose robots over humanoids in most cases and their preferences vary by task. Although people think that humanoids are acceptable for assistance with some tasks, they express concerns about having them in their homes.
