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

Individuals with severe tetraplegia frequently require to control their complex assistive devices using body movement with the remaining activity above the neck. Electromyography (EMG) signals from the contractions of facial muscles enable people to produce multiple command signals by conveying information about attempted movements. In this study, a novel EMG-controlled system based on facial actions was developed. The mechanism of different facial actions was processed using an EMG control model. Four asymmetric and symmetry actions were defined to control a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) prosthesis. Both indoor and outdoor experiments were conducted to validate the feasibility of EMG-controlled prostheses based on facial action. The experimental results indicated that the new paradigm presented in this paper yields high performance and efficient control for prosthesis applications.
