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

This study delves into interdisciplinary research directions in human posture recognition, covering vision-based and non-vision-based methods. Visually analyzing 3066 core research papers published from 2011 to 2024 with CiteSpace software reveals knowledge structures, research topics, key documents, trends, and institutional contributions. In-depth citation analysis identified 1200 articles and five significant research clusters. Findings show that in recent years, deep learning and sensor-based methods have dominated, significantly improving recognition accuracy, like the deep learning-based posture recognition method achieving 99.7% verification set accuracy with a 20-ms delay in a controlled environment. Logarithmic growth analysis of annual publications, supported by logistic model fitting, indicates the field's maturation since 2011, with a shift from early simple applications of traditional and deep learning algorithms to integrating interdisciplinary approaches for problem-solving as the field matures and a predicted decline in future breakthroughs. By integrating indicators like citation bursts, degree centrality, and sigma, the research identifies interdisciplinary trends and key innovation directions, showing a transition from traditional to deep learning and multi-sensor data fusion methods. The integration of biomechanics principles with engineering technologies highlights new research paths. Overall, this study offers a systematic overview to identify gaps, trends, and innovation directions, facilitating future research and providing a roadmap for innovation in human posture recognition.
