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 use of body signals for health care applications has become ubiquitous in the last decade. One utilization of such measurements is the monitoring of respiratory flow for physiotherapy assistance. This application is based on relative flow measures which can rely on inexpensive sensors. Based on that, we present a low-cost electronic device that detects blows and suctions with a pressure sensor and emulates a keyboard for interfacing with computers. This joystick allows children to control free internet games by associating blows and suctions with different intensities to keyboard actions. Also, the intensity can be calibrated according to the user's pulmonary capacities. This feature is adequate for gradual respiratory physiotherapy and can be customized for each patient. In order to verify the operation of the proposed device, practical tests were performed with three online free games, where the joystick functionality was assessed with different therapeutic configurations.
