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 motor imagery (MI) brain-computer interface (BCI) research, some researchers have designed MI paradigms of force under a unilateral upper-limb static state. It is difficult to apply these paradigms to the dynamic force interaction process between the robot and the patient in a brain-controlled rehabilitation robot system, which needs to induce thinking states of the patient's demand for assistance. Therefore, in our research, according to the movement of wiping the table in human daily life, we designed a three-level-force MI paradigm under a unilateral upper-limb dynamic state. Based on the event-related de-synchronization (ERD) feature analysis of the electroencephalography (EEG) signals generated by the brain's force change motor imagination, we proposed a multi-scale temporal convolutional network with attention mechanism (MSTCN-AM) algorithm to recognize ERD features of MI-EEG signals. Aiming at the slight feature differences of single-trial MI-EEG signals among different levels of force, the MSTCN module was designed to extract fine-grained features of different dimensions in the time-frequency domain. The spatial convolution module was then used to learn the area differences of space domain features. Finally, the attention mechanism dynamically weighted the time-frequency-space domain features to improve the algorithm's sensitivity. The results showed that the accuracy of the algorithm was 86.4 ± 14.0% for the three-level-force MI-EEG data collected experimentally. Compared with the baseline algorithms (OVR-CSP+SVM (77.6 ± 14.5%), Deep ConvNet (75.3 ± 12.3%), Shallow ConvNet (77.6 ± 11.8%), EEGNet (82.3 ± 13.8%), and SCNN-BiLSTM (69.1 ± 16.8%)), our algorithm had higher classification accuracy with significant differences and better fitting performance.
