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

Several studies have examined the accuracy of the Kinect V2 sensor during gait analysis. Usually the data retrieved by the Kinect V2 sensor are compared with the ground truth of certified systems using a Euclidean comparison. Due to the Kinect V2 sensor latency, the application of a uniform temporal alignment is not adequate to compare the signals. On that basis, the purpose of this study was to explore the abilities of the dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm to compensate for sensor latency (3 samples or 90 ms) and develop a proper accuracy estimation. During the experimental stage, six iterations were performed using the a dual Kinect V2 system. The walking tests were developed at a self-selected speed. The sensor accuracy for Euclidean matching was consistent with that reported in previous studies. After latency compensation, the sensor accuracy demonstrated considerably lower error rates for all joints. This demonstrated that the accuracy was underestimated due to the use of inappropriate comparison techniques. On the contrary, DTW is a potential method that compensates for the sensor latency, and works sufficiently in comparison with certified systems.
