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

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a typical direction of integration of human intelligence and robot intelligence. Shared control is an essential form of combining human and robot agents in a common task, but still faces a lack of freedom for the human agent. This paper proposes a Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT)-based road segmentation approach for brain-controlled robot navigation by means of asynchronous BCI. An electromyogram-based asynchronous mechanism is introduced into the BCI system for self-paced control. A novel CVT-based road segmentation method is provided to generate optional navigation goals in the road area for arbitrary goal selection. An event-related potential of the BCI is designed for target selection to communicate with the robot. The robot has an autonomous navigation function to reach the human selected goals. A comparison experiment in the single-step control pattern is executed to verify the effectiveness of the CVT-based asynchronous (CVT-A) BCI system. Eight subjects participated in the experiment, and they were instructed to control the robot to navigate toward a destination with obstacle avoidance tasks. The results show that the CVT-A BCI system can shorten the task duration, decrease the command times, and optimize navigation path, compared with the single-step pattern. Moreover, this shared control mechanism of the CVT-A BCI system contributes to the promotion of human and robot agent integration control in unstructured environments.
