KITE-BCI: A brain-computer interface system for functional electrical stimulation therapy.
Article in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 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
CONTEXT/
objectiveIntegrating brain-computer interface (BCI) technology with functional electrical stimulation therapy (FEST) is an emerging strategy for upper limb motor rehabilitation after spinal cord injury (SCI). Despite promising results, the combined use of these technologies (BCI-FEST) in clinical practice is minimal. To address this issue, we developed KITE-BCI, a BCI system specifically designed for clinical application and integration with dynamic FEST. In this paper, we report its technical features and performance. In addition, we discuss the differences in distributions of the BCI- and therapist-triggered stimulation latencies.
designTwo single-arm 40-session interventional studies to test the feasibility of BCI-controlled FEST for upper limb motor rehabilitation in individuals with cervical SCI.
settingRehabilitation programs within the University and Lyndhurst Centres of the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute - University Health Network, Toronto, Canada.
participantsFive individuals with sub-acute (< 6 months post-injury) SCI at the C4-C5 level, AIS B-D, and three individuals with chronic (> 24 months post-injury) SCI at C4 level, AIS B-C. OUTCOME MEASURES: We measured BCI setup duration, and to characterize the performance of KITE-BCI, we recorded BCI sensitivity, defined as the percentage of successful BCI activations out of the total number of cued movements.
resultsThe overall BCI sensitivities were 74.46% and 79.08% for the sub-acute and chronic groups, respectively. The average KITE-BCI setup duration across the two studies was 11 min and 13 s.
conclusionKITE-BCI demonstrates a clinically viable single-channel BCI system for integration with FEST resulting in a versatile technology-enhanced upper limb motor rehabilitation strategy after SCI.
