Improved Motion Classification With an Integrated Multimodal Exoskeleton Interface.
Article in Frontiers in neurorobotics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Human motion intention detection is an essential part of the control of upper-body exoskeletons. While surface electromyography (sEMG)-based systems may be able to provide anticipatory control, they typically require exact placement of the electrodes on the muscle bodies which limits the practical use and donning of the technology. In this study, we propose a novel physical interface for exoskeletons with integrated sEMG- and pressure sensors. The sensors are 3D-printed with flexible, conductive materials and allow multi-modal information to be obtained during operation. A K-Nearest Neighbours classifier is implemented in an off-line manner to detect reaching movements and lifting tasks that represent daily activities of industrial workers. The performance of the classifier is validated through repeated experiments and compared to a unimodal EMG-based classifier. The results indicate that excellent prediction performance can be obtained, even with a minimal amount of sEMG electrodes and without specific placement of the electrode.
