Adaptive Grid Search Method Using Dynamic Step-Size Adjustment for Robot-Tissue Interaction Force Estimation.
Article in The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS, 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
backgroundReliable force perception is critical in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. However, constraints in end-effector size and complexity of the surgical environment hamper the integration of force sensors for direct feedback.
methodsIn this study, an adaptive grid search algorithm with dynamic step-size adjustment is proposed to optimise the Hunt-Crossley (HC) model parameters for precise force estimation in robotic applications. The method continuously adjusts the step size based on real-time estimation error, thereby enabling efficient investigation of the parameter space and refined optimisation near the optimal solution.
resultsExperimental results show that the proposed method improves force estimation accuracy, with a reduction in Maximum Error (ME) of at least 25%, and reductions in Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Average Error (AE) of at least 30% compared to conventional fixed-step approaches.
conclusionsThese improvements enhance operational safety and also achieve the balance between computational efficiency and perception accuracy.
