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

objectiveThe objective of this study was to predict postural discomfort based on the deep learning-based regression (multilayer perceptron [MLP] model).

methodsA total of 95 participants performed 45 different static postures as a combination of 3 neck angles, 5 trunk angles, and 3 knee angles and rated the whole-body discomfort. Two different combinations of variables including model 1 (all variables: gender, height, weight, exercise, body segment angles) and model 2 (gender, body segment angles) were tested. The MLP regression and a conventional regression (quadratic regression) were both conducted, and the performance was compared.

resultsIn the overall regression analysis, the quadratic regression showed better performance than the MLP regression. For the postural discomfort group-specific analysis, MLP regression showed greater performance than the quadratic regression especially in the high postural discomfort group. The MLP regression also showed better performance in predicting postural discomfort among individuals who had a variability of subjective rating among different postures compared to the quadratic regression. The deep learning for postural discomfort prediction would be useful for the efficient job risk assessment for various industries that involve prolonged static postures.

conclusionsThe deep learning for postural discomfort prediction would be useful for the efficient job risk assessment for various industries that involve prolonged static postures. This information would be meaningful as basic research data to study in predicting psychophysical data in ergonomics.
