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

Human falls are the premier cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among older adults. The health outcome of a fall event is largely dependent on rapid response and rescue of the fallen elder. Being able to provide an accurate and fast fall detection will dramatically improve the health outcomes of the older population and reduce the associated healthcare cost after a fall. To achieve the goal, a multi-features semi-supervised support vector machines (MFSS-SVM) algorithm utilizing measurements from structural floor vibration obtained through accelerometers is proposed in this study to detect falling events with limited labeled samples. In this MFSS-SVM algorithm, the peak value, energy, and correlation coefficient of the accelerometer signal are used as classification features. The performance of the proposed algorithm was validated with laboratory experiments among activities including falling, walking, free jumping, rhythmic jumping, bag dropping, and ball dropping. To further illustrate the performance of the algorithm, a benchmark database was adopted and expanded to test its ability to accurately identify falling, compared with the algorithm used in the benchmark study. Results show that by using the proposed algorithm, the falling events can be identified with high accuracy and confidence, even with small training datasets and test nodes.
