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

This paper presents the application of an adaptive exoskeleton for finger rehabilitation. The system consists of a force-controlled exoskeleton of the finger and wireless coupling to a mobile application for the rehabilitation of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) patients. The exoskeleton has sensors for motion detection and force control as well as a wireless communication module. The proposed mobile application allows to interactively control the exoskeleton, store collected patient-specific data, and motivate the patient for therapy by means of gamification. The exoskeleton was applied to three CRPS patients over a period of six weeks. We present the design of the exoskeleton, the mobile application with its game content, and the results of the performed preliminary patient study. The exoskeleton system showed good applicability; recorded data can be used for objective therapy evaluation.
