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 study, we propose a novel multi-modal brain-computer interface (BCI) system based on the threshold discrimination, which is proposed for the first time to distinguish between SSVEP and MI potentials. The system combines these two heterogeneous signals to increase the number of control commands and improve the performance of asynchronous control of external devices. In this research, an electric wheelchair is controlled as an example. The user can continuously control the wheelchair to turn left/right through motion imagination (MI) by imagining left/right-hand movement and generate another 6 commands for the wheelchair control by focusing on the SSVEP stimulation panel. Ten subjects participated in a MI training session and eight of them completed a mobile obstacle-avoidance experiment in a complex environment requesting high control accuracy for successful manipulation. Comparing with the single-modal BCI-controlled wheelchair system, the results demonstrate that the proposed multi-modal method is effective by providing more satisfactory control accuracy, and show the potential of BCI-controlled systems to be applied in complex daily tasks.
