Perching of quadrotor using adaptive second-order continuous control in the presence of uncertainties.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The perching maneuver enables a quadrotor to make stable contact with vertical surfaces for prolonged monitoring, which significantly enhances mission endurance and energy efficiency in inspection and surveillance tasks. To achieve a stable perching maneuver, this study proposes an adaptive second-order continuous control (ASOCC) in contact-based inspection applications. A novel finite-time convergent disturbance observer compensates model uncertainties and external disturbances, including aerodynamic and wall effects. The closed-loop Lyapunov stability of the proposed observer-controller system is also established. The effectiveness of the ASOCC strategy is validated through extensive simulation studies under various conditions, including step response, model uncertainties, and external disturbances. Comparative evaluations against existing control strategies reveal that the proposed method offers higher precision, stronger robustness, and better resistance to external disturbances when assessed through standard tracking error-based performance indices. Additionally, experimental trials verify that the quadrotor consistently performs a stable perching maneuver on vertical walls under both indoor and outdoor conditions.
