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

Physical actions classification of surface electromyography (sEMG) signal is required in applications like prosthesis, and robotic control etc. In this paper, tunable-Q factor wavelet transform (TQWT) based algorithm is proposed for the classification of physical actions such as clapping, hugging, bowing, handshaking, standing, running, jumping, waving, seating, and walking. sEMG signal is decomposed into sub-bands by TQWT. Various features are extracted from each different band and statistical analysis is performed. These features are fed into multi-class least squares support vector machine classifier using two non-linear kernel functions, morlet wavelet function, and radial basis function. The proposed method is an attempt for classifying physical actions using TQWT and its performance and results are promising and have high classification accuracy of 97.74% for sub-band eight with morlet kernel function.
