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

This review presents the state of the art and a global overview of research challenges of real-time distributed activity recognition in the field of healthcare. Offline activity recognition is discussed as a starting point to establish the useful concepts of the field, such as sensor types, activity labeling and feature extraction, outlier detection, and machine learning. New challenges and obstacles brought on by real-time centralized activity recognition such as communication, real-time activity labeling, cloud and local approaches, and real-time machine learning in a streaming context are then discussed. Finally, real-time distributed activity recognition is covered through existing implementations in the scientific literature, and six main angles of optimization are defined: Processing, memory, communication, energy, time, and accuracy. This survey is addressed to any reader interested in the development of distributed artificial intelligence as well activity recognition, regardless of their level of expertise.
