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

Force myography (FMG) is a method that uses pressure sensors to measure muscle contraction indirectly. Compared with the conventional approach utilizing myoelectric signals in hand gesture recognition, it is a valuable substitute. To achieve the aim of gesture recognition at minimum cost, it is necessary to study the minimum sampling frequency and the minimal number of channels. For purpose of investigating the effect of sampling frequency and the number of channels on the accuracy of gesture recognition, a hardware system that has 16 channels has been designed for capturing forearm FMG signals with a maximum sampling frequency of 1 kHz. Using this acquisition equipment, a force myography database containing 10 subjects' data has been created. In this paper, gesture accuracies under different sampling frequencies and channel's number are obtained. Under 1 kHz sampling rate and 16 channels, four of five tested classifiers reach an accuracy up to about 99%. Other experimental results indicate that: (1) the sampling frequency of the FMG signal can be as low as 5 Hz for the recognition of static movements; (2) the reduction of channel number has a large impact on the accuracy, and the suggested channel number for gesture recognition is eight; and (3) the distribution of the sensors on the forearm would affect the recognition accuracy, and it is possible to improve the accuracy via optimizing the sensor position.
