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

Restoring strength, function, and mobility following an illness, accident, or surgery is the primary goal of upper arm rehabilitation. Exoskeletons offer adaptable support, enhancing patient engagement and accelerating recovery. This work proposes an adjustable, wearable robotic exoskeleton powered by electromyography (EMG) data for upper arm rehabilitation. Three activation levels-low, medium, and high-were applied to the EMG data to forecast the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) based on the range of motion (ROM) angle. Conventional machine learning (ML) models, including K-Nearest Neighbor Regression (K-NNR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), and Random Forest Regression (RFR), were compared with neural network approaches, including Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to determine the best ML model for the ROM angle prediction. The LSTM model emerged as the best predictor with a high accuracy of 0.96. The system achieved 0.89 accuracy in exoskeleton control and 0.85 accuracy in signal categorization. Additionally, the proposed exoskeleton demonstrated a 0.97 performance in ROM correction compared to conventional methods (
