A Thickness-Invariant Origami Robot With Integrated Actuation and Multimodal Locomotion.

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
Origami robots possess the potential for advanced reconfigurability in various contexts and environments. This paper describes and demonstrates the function of an origami robot following a thickness-invariant version of the Yoshimura tessellation. This thickness-invariance allows for the simple folding pattern to be expanded vertically, allowing all robotics components to be housed within the panels of the robot without impacting the functional relationships between folds of the pattern, or requiring other, more complex forms of thickness accommodation. The mathematics and engineering to create such a robot are presented to enable the use of these techniques in creating other origami-based robots. This paper communicates methods for generating gait policies for origami-based patterns, the limitations of such methods, and demonstrates such policies on a physical robot.
