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

backgroundEvaluating upper limb (UL) interventions after stroke calls for outcome measures that describe impact on daily life in the community. UL use ratio has been used to quantify the performance domain of UL function, but generally focuses on arm use only. A hand use ratio could provide additional information about UL function after stroke. Additionally, a ratio based on the role of the more-affected hand in bilateral activities (stabilizer or manipulator) may also reflect hand function recovery. Egocentric video is a novel modality that can record both dynamic and static hand use and hand roles at home after stroke.

objectiveTo validate hand use and hand role ratios from egocentric video against standardized clinical UL assessments.

methodsTwenty-four stroke survivors recorded daily tasks in a home simulation laboratory and their daily routines at home using egocentric cameras. Spearman's correlation was used to compare the ratios with the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), and Motor Activity Log-30 (MAL, Amount of Use (AoU), and Quality of Movement (QoM)).

resultsHand use ratio significantly correlated with the FMA-UE (0.60, 95% CI: 0.26, 0.81), ARAT (0.44, CI: 0.04, 0.72), MAL-AoU (0.80, CI: 0.59, 0.91), and MAL-QoM (0.79, CI: 0.57, 0.91). Hand role ratio had no significant correlations with the assessments.

conclusionHand use ratio automatically extracted from egocentric video, but not hand role ratio, was found to be a valid measure of hand function performance in our sample. Further investigation is necessary to interpret hand role information.
