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

The development of advanced and effective human-machine interfaces, especially for amputees to control their prostheses, is very high priority and a very active area of research. An intuitive control method should retain an adequate level of functionality for dexterous operation, provide robustness against confounding factors, and supply adaptability for diverse long-term usage, all of which are current problems being tackled by researchers. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art, as well as, the limitations of current myoelectric signal control (MSC) methods. To address the research topic on functionality, we review different approaches to prosthetic hand control (DOF configuration, discrete or simultaneous, etc.), and how well the control is performed (accuracy, response, intuitiveness, etc.). To address the research on robustness, we review the confounding factors (limb positions, electrode shift, force variance, and inadvertent activity) that affect the stability of the control performance. Lastly, to address adaptability, we review the strategies that can automatically adjust the classifier for different individuals and for long-term usage. This review provides a thorough overview of the current MSC methods and helps highlight the current areas of research focus and resulting clinic usability for the MSC methods for upper-limb prostheses.
