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

objectiveWe evaluated a two-step method to improve control accuracy for a powered prosthetic leg using machine learning and adaptation, while reducing subject training time.

methodsFirst, information from three transfemoral amputees was grouped together, to create a baseline control system that was subsequently tested using data from a fourth subject (user-independent classification). Second, online adaptation was investigated, whereby the fourth subject's data were used to improve the baseline control system in real-time. Results were compared for user-independent classification and for user-dependent classification (data collected from and tested in the same subject), with and without adaptation.

resultsThe combination of a user-independent classifier with real-time adaptation based on a unique individual's data produced a classification error rate as low as 1.61% [0.15 standard error of the mean (SEM)] without requiring collection of initial training data from that individual. Training/testing using a subject's own data (user-dependent classification), combined with adaptation, resulted in a classification error rate of 0.9% [0.12 SEM], which was not significantly different (P 0.05) but required, on average, an additional 7.52 hours [0.92 SEM] of training sessions. CONCLUSION AND SIGNIFICANCE: We found that the combination of a user-independent dataset with adaptation resulted in error rates that were not significantly different from using a user-dependent dataset. Furthermore, this method eliminated the need for individual training sessions, saving many hours of data collection time.
