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

In a previous study, we developed a classification model to detect fall risk for elderly adults with a history of falls (fallers) using micro-Doppler radar (MDR) gait measurements via simulation. The objective was to create daily monitoring systems that can identify elderly people with a high risk of falls. This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of our model by collecting actual MDR data from community-dwelling elderly people. First, MDR gait measurements were performed in a community setting, and the efficient gait parameters for the classification of fallers were extracted. Then, a support vector machine model that was trained and validated using the simulated MDR data was tested for the gait parameters extracted from the actual MDR data. A classification accuracy of 78.8% was achieved for the actual MDR data. The validity of the experimental results was confirmed based on a comparison with the results of our previous simulation study. Thus, the practicality of the faller classification model constructed using the simulated MDR data was verified for the actual MDR data.
