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

Microrobot navigation in constrained environments requires path planning methods that ensure both efficiency and collision avoidance. Conventional approaches, which typically combine graph-based path finding with geometric path simplification, effectively reduce path complexity but often generate collision-prone paths because wall boundaries are not considered during simplification. Therefore, to overcome this limitation, we present Secure Angle-based Geometric Elimination (SAGE), a single-pass path-simplification algorithm that converts pixel-level shortest paths into low-complexity trajectories suitable for real-time collision-free navigation of microrobots. SAGE inspects consecutive triplets (
