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

Human upper-limb movement is produced through the antagonistic action of tendons and is controlled in a joint space-oriented manner. Inspired by this functionality, a fully decoupled tendon-driven humanoid arm (FDTDH-Arm) is proposed, in which joint space decoupling is achieved at the mechanical level via humanoid antagonistic actuation and joint regulation rather than complex modeling-based compensation. To characterize the motion behavior introduced by rolling constraints, joint-level and whole-arm kinematic models are established. A prototype of the proposed arm is developed and experimentally validated. The results demonstrate effective mechanical joint space decoupling, passive joint stiffness of the same order of magnitude as that reported for the human upper limb, a mean positioning error of 0.40 mm, and rapid whole-arm motion with a maximum end effector velocity of 3.62 m/s. The proposed design provides a mechanical implementation and biomimetic solution for humanoid manipulation in human-interactive environments.
