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

The control of human-machine interfaces (HMIs), such as motorized wheelchairs, has been widely investigated using biopotentials produced by electrochemical processes in the human body. However, many studies in this field sometimes overlook crucial factors like special users' needs, who often have inadequate muscle mass and strength, and paresis needed to operate a wheelchair. This study proposes a novel solution: an economical, universally compatible, and user-centric manual-to-powered wheelchair conversion kit. The powered wheelchair is operated using a hybrid control system integrating electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyography (EMG), utilizing an LSTM network. It uses a low-cost electroencephalogram (EEG) headset and a wearable electromyography (EMG) electrode armband to solve these constraints. The proposed system comprised three crucial objectives: the development of an EEG-based user attentive detection system, an EMG-based navigation system, and a transform conventional wheelchair into a powered wheelchair. Human test subjects were utilized to evaluate the proposed system, and the study complied with accepted ethical guidelines. We selected four EEG features (
