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

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause paralysis of trunk and hip musculature that negatively impacts seated balance and ability to lean away from an upright posture and interact fully with the environment. Constant levels of electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves can activate typically paralyzed muscles and aid in maintaining a single upright seated posture. However, in the absence of a feedback controller, such seated postures and leaning motions are inherently unstable and unable to respond to perturbations. Three individuals with motor complete SCI who had previously received a neuroprosthesis capable of activating the hip and trunk musculature volunteered for this study. Subject-specific muscle synergies were identified through system identification of the lumbar moments produced via neural stimulation. Synergy-based calculations determined the real-time stimulation parameters required to assume leaning postures. When combined with a proportional, integral, derivative (PID) feedback controller and an accelerometer to infer trunk orientation, all individuals were able to assume non-erect postures of 30-40° flexion and 15° lateral bending. Leaning postures increased forward reaching capabilities by 10.2, 46.7, and 16 cm respectively for each subject when compared with no stimulation. Additionally, the leaning controllers were able to resist perturbations of up to 90 N, and all subjects perceived the leaning postures as moderately to very stable. Implementation of leaning controllers for neuroprostheses have the potential of expanding workspaces, increasing independence, and facilitating activities of daily living for individuals with paralysis.
