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

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of different cursor click modalities in an alternative computer access device using accelerometry from head tilt to control cursor movement. Eighteen healthy adults performed a target acquisition task using the device with five different cursor click modalities, while maintaining cursor movement control via accelerometry. Three dwell-based click modalities with dwell times of 0.5 s, 1.0 s, and 1.5 s were tested. Two surface electromyography-based click modalities - with the sensor placed next to the eye for a blink and above the eyebrow for a brow raise - were tested. Performance was evaluated using metrics of target selection accuracy, path efficiency, target selection time, and user effort. Surface electromyography-based click modalities were as fast as the shortest dwell time and as accurate as the longest dwell time, and also minimized user effort. Three of the four performance metrics were not affected by sensor location. Future studies will investigate if these results are similar in individuals with neuromuscular disorders.
