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

We developed a mobile application for cervical rehabilitation that uses a non-invasive camera-based head-tracker sensor for monitoring neck movements. The intended user population should be able to use the mobile application in their own mobile device, but mobile devices have different camera sensors and screen dimensions that could affect the user performance and neck movement monitoring. In this work, we studied the influence of mobile devices type on camera-based monitoring of neck movements for rehabilitation purposes. We conducted an experiment to test whether the characteristics of a mobile device affect neck movements when using the mobile application with the head-tracker. The experiment consisted of the use of our application, containing an exergame, in three mobile devices. We used wireless inertial sensors to measure the real-time neck movements performed while using the different devices. The results showed that the effect of device type on neck movements was not statistically significant. We included the sex factor in the analysis, but there was no statistically significant interaction between sex and device variables. Our mobile application proved to be device-agnostic. This will allow intended users to use the mHealth application regardless of the type of device. Thus, future work can continue with the clinical evaluation of the developed application to analyse the hypothesis that the use of the exergame will improve therapeutic adherence in cervical rehabilitation.
