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

We seek to use dimensionality reduction to simplify the difficult task of controlling a lower limb prosthesis. Though many techniques for dimensionality reduction have been described, it is not clear which is the most appropriate for human gait data. In this study, we first compare how Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and an autoencoder on poses (Pose-AE) transform human kinematics data during flat ground and stair walking. Second, we compare the performance of PCA, Pose-AE and a new autoencoder trained on full human movement trajectories (Move-AE) in order to capture the time varying properties of gait. We compare these methods for both movement classification and identifying the individual. These are key capabilities for identifying useful data representations for prosthetic control. We first find that Pose-AE outperforms PCA on dimensionality reduction by achieving a higher Variance Accounted For (VAF) across flat ground walking data, stairs data, and undirected natural movements. We then find in our second task that Move-AE significantly outperforms both PCA and Pose-AE on movement classification and individual identification tasks. This suggests the autoencoder is more suitable than PCA for dimensionality reduction of human gait, and can be used to encode useful representations of entire movements to facilitate prosthetic control tasks.
