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

introductionThis paper presents a study on an affordable rehabilitation approach to post-stroke patients. In this approach, a patient performs a task on a haptic virtual environment system and a physician examines the patient's task remotely based on the performing data.

objectivesThe objective of this study is to test a hypothesis that an elevated cognitive fatigue state may significantly affect the patient's task performance so as to disturb judgment by physicians.

methodsThe study included the development of a test-bed for the experiment and an experimental study for the hypothesis. The study took the wrist coordination function of the upper limb as an example.

resultThe study showed that the cognitive fatigue state has a significant influence on the patient's task performance; in other words, there is a noise (75% discrepancy from the true performance information) in the performance data.

conclusionThe study provides great potential for accurate assessment of the functional state from true patient task performance. The future work needs to focus on the removal of the noise. The limitation of this study is that the experiment was carried out on healthy subjects, although post-stroke patients are more susceptible to an elevated cognitive fatigue state from a common sense.
