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

Smartphones have emerged as a revolutionary technology for monitoring everyday life, and they have played an important role in Human Activity Recognition (HAR) due to its ubiquity. The sensors embedded in these devices allows recognizing human behaviors using machine learning techniques. However, not all solutions are feasible for implementation in smartphones, mainly because of its high computational cost. In this context, the proposed method, called HAR-SR, introduces information theory quantifiers as new features extracted from sensors data to create simple activity classification models, increasing in this way the efficiency in terms of computational cost. Three public databases (SHOAIB, UCI, WISDM) are used in the evaluation process. The results have shown that HAR-SR can classify activities with 93% accuracy when using a leave-one-subject-out cross-validation procedure (LOSO).
