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 this paper, an autonomous exercise generation system based of fuzzy logic approach is presented. This work attempts to close a gap in the design of a completely autonomous robotic rehabilitation system that can recommend exercises to patients based on their data, such as shoulder range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength, from a pre-set library of exercises. The input parameters are fed into a system that uses Mamdani-style fuzzy logic rules to process them. In medical applications, the rationale behind decision making is a sophisticated process that involves a certain amount of uncertainty and ambiguity. In this instance, a fuzzy-logic-based system emerges as a viable option for dealing with the uncertainty. The system's rules have been reviewed by a therapist to ensure that it adheres to the relevant healthcare standards. Moreover, the system has been tested with a series of test data and the results obtained ensures the proposed idea's feasibility.
