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

Concentrating on a large-scale motion simulator, this article proposes the cable-driven parallel mechanism (CDPM), whose virtues are simplified geometry, being lightweight, and having a large workspace, high workload, and fast dynamic performance. To meet engineering requirements for motion simulation, we devise several CDPM configurations and establish a systematic selection procedure. The target configuration is determined based on several constraints, including the simulator's installation space, the end-effector's shape and load, and the required degrees of freedom (DOFs) and motion range. We calculate the wrench-closure workspace (WCW) and wrench-feasible workspace (WFW), incorporating the range of posture variations into their volume calculations. These workspaces serve as key criteria for configuration selection. Based on the WFW, we optimize the distal attachment points of the cables connected to the end-effector and adjust the minimum and maximum cable tension constraints. This optimization provides the basis for selecting the cable and motor models and ultimately establishes the optimal configuration. The proposed method encompasses the entire process, from defining large-scale motion requirements to determining the final parameters of the simulator.
