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

Every year, a significant number of people lose a body part in an accident, through sickness or in high-risk manual jobs. Several studies and research works have tried to reduce the constraints and risks in their lives through the use of technology. This work proposes a learning-based approach that performs gesture recognition using a surface electromyography-based device, the Myo Armband released by Thalmic Labs, which is a commercial device and has eight non-intrusive low-cost sensors. With 35 able-bodied subjects, and using the Myo Armband device, which is able to record data at about 200 MHz, we collected a dataset that includes six dissimilar hand gestures. We used a gated recurrent unit network to train a system that, as input, takes raw signals extracted from the surface electromyography sensors. The proposed approach obtained a 99.90% training accuracy and 99.75% validation accuracy. We also evaluated the proposed system on a test set (new subjects) obtaining an accuracy of 77.85%. In addition, we showed the test prediction results for each gesture separately and analyzed which gestures for the Myo armband with our suggested network can be difficult to distinguish accurately. Moreover, we studied for first time the gated recurrent unit network capability in gesture recognition approaches. Finally, we integrated our method in a system that is able to classify live hand gestures.
