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

introductionStroke is the leading cause of disability worldwide. It has been well-documented that rehabilitation (rehab) therapy can aid in regaining health and function for individuals with stroke. Yet, tracking in-home rehab continues to be a challenge because of a lack of resources and population-scale demands. In order to address this gap, we implemented a methodology to classify and track rehab interventions in individuals with stroke.

methodsWe developed personalized classification algorithms, including neural network-based algorithms, to classify four rehab exercises performed by two individuals with stroke who were part of a week-long therapy camp in Jamaica, a low- and middle-income country. Accelerometry-based wearable sensors were placed on each upper and lower limb to collect movement data during therapy.

resultsThe classification accuracy for traditional and neural network-based algorithms utilizing feature data (e.g., number of peaks) from the sensors ranged from 64 to 94%, respectively. In addition, the study proposes a new method to assess change in bilateral mobility over the camp duration.

conclusionThe results of this pilot study indicate that personalized supervised learning algorithms can be used to classify and track rehab activities and functional outcomes in resource limited settings such as LMICs.
