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

Hip exoskeleton can provide assistance to users to augment movements in different scenarios. The assistive control for hip exoskeleton involves the interactions among exoskeleton, user, and environment, which depends on the environment perception (to predict locomotion) to design control strategy combined with gait mode and so on. Current exoskeleton control still needs to be improved in adaptation to continuous locomotion mode and different users. To address this problem, we have employed a learning-free (i.e., non-data-driven) environment perception method to improve hip exoskeleton adaptive control toward continuous locomotion mode. The adaptive control experiments were conducted on level ground and stairs on 7 subjects. The prediction accuracy for steady locomotion mode was more than 95% for each subject (ranged from 95.7% to 99.7%). The prediction accuracy for each locomotion mode transition ranged from 87.5% to 100%, and the transition timing could be detected before the end of transition period. Compared with learning-based (data-driven) approaches, our method achieves better performances in adaptive control for hip exoskeleton and shows some generalization for subjects.
