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

Hand tremor is one of the dominating symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), which significantly limits activities of daily living. Along with medications, wearable devices have been proposed to suppress tremor. However, suppressing tremor without interfering with voluntary motion remains challenging and improvements are needed. The main goal of this work was to design algorithms for the automatic identification of the tremor type and voluntary motions, using only surface electromyography (sEMG) data. Towards this goal, a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) algorithm was implemented that uses sEMG data to identify the motion and tremor type of people living with PD when performing a task. Moreover, in order to automate the training process, hyperparamter selection was performed using a regularized evolutionary algorithm. The results show that the accuracy of task classification among 15 people living with PD was 84±8%, and the accuracy of tremor classification was 88±5%. Both models performed significantly above chance levels (20% and 33% for task and tremor classification, respectively). Thus, it was concluded that the trained models, based on using purely sEMG signals, could successfully identify the task and tremor types.
