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

This study presents a comprehensive simulation-based comparative analysis of four parallel robotic mechanisms, each developed to assist patient recovery through adaptive movement control and feedback, particularly for upper and lower limb therapy. Kinematic and dynamic models were developed and implemented in Matlab-Simulink, integrating force control via conventional regulators and real-time interaction with simulated patient-applied forces. The structural differences between spherical, rotational, and universal joints in each kinematic chain variant were evaluated. To systematically determine the most suitable design, a detailed Analytic Hierarchy Process was applied considering performance, precision, stability, and actuator effort. The study emphasizes the advantages of parallel robots in rehabilitation due to their precision, rigidity, and compact design, highlighting the potential of parallel robotic systems in customized and adaptive physical therapy interventions. These insights contribute to the optimal design selection of clinical motor therapy robots.
