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

The objective is to develop a system to automatically select the corresponding assessment scales and calculate the score of the risk based on the joint angle information obtained from the imaged process (OpenPose) via image-based motion capture technology. Current occupational assessments, for example, REBA, RULA, and OWAS were used to evaluate the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. However, the assessment result would not be reported immediately. Introducing real-time occupational assessments in different working environments will be helpful for occupational injury prevention. In this study, the decision tree was developed to select the most appropriate assessment method according to the joint angles derived by OpenPose image process. Fifteen operation videos were tested and these videos can be classified into six types including maintenance, handling, assembly, cleaning, office work, and driving. The selected ergonomic assessment method by our developed decision tree in each condition are consistent with the recommendation of the Labour Research Institute. Moreover, the high-risk posture could be identified immediately and provide to the inspector for further evaluation on this posture rather than the whole operation period. This approach provides a quick inspection of the operation movements to prevent musculoskeletal injuries and enhances the application of the scale assessment method in different industrial environments.
