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

Intent recognition is a data-driven alternative to expert-crafted rules for triggering transitions between pre-programmed activity modes of a powered leg prosthesis. Movement-related signals from prosthesis sensors detected prior to movement completion are used to predict the upcoming activity. Usually, training data comprised of labeled examples of each activity are necessary; however, the process of collecting a sufficiently large and rich training dataset from an amputee population is tedious. In addition, covariate shift can have detrimental effects on a controller's prediction accuracy if the classifier's learned representation of movement intention is not robust enough. Our objective was to develop and evaluate techniques to learn robust representations of movement intention using data augmentation and deep neural networks. In an offline analysis of data collected from four amputee subjects across three days each, we demonstrate that our approach produced realistic synthetic sensor data that helped reduce error rates when training and testing on different days and different users. Our novel approach introduces an effective and generalizable strategy for augmenting wearable robotics sensor data, challenging a pre-existing notion that rehabilitation robotics can only derive limited benefit from state-of-the-art deep learning techniques typically requiring more vast amounts of data.
