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

To automatically evaluate the ergonomics of workers, 3D skeletons are needed. Most ergonomic assessment methods, like REBA, are based on the different 3D joint angles. Thanks to the huge amount of training data, 2D skeleton detectors have become very accurate. In this work, we test three methods to calculate 3D skeletons from 2D detections: using the depth from a single RealSense range camera, triangulating the joints using multiple cameras, and combining the triangulation of multiple camera pairs. We tested the methods using recordings of a person doing different assembly tasks. We compared the resulting joint angles to the ground truth of a VICON marker-based tracking system. The resulting RMS angle error for the triangulation methods is between 12° and 16°, showing that they are accurate enough to calculate a useful ergonomic score from.
