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

Surface electromyography (sEMG) non-invasively captures the electrical activity generated by muscle contractions, offering valuable insights into motion intentions. While sEMG has been widely applied to general gesture recognition in rehabilitation, there has been limited exploration of specific, intricate daily tasks, such as the pouring action. Pouring is a common yet complex movement requiring precise muscle coordination and control, making it an ideal focus for rehabilitation studies. This research proposes a granular computing-based deep learning approach utilizing ConvMixer architecture enhanced with feature fusion and granular computing to improve gesture recognition accuracy. Our findings indicate that the addition of hand-crafted features significantly improves model performance; specifically, the ConvMixer model's accuracy improved from 0.9512 to 0.9929. These results highlight the potential of our approach in rehabilitation technologies and assistive systems for restoring motor functions in daily activities.
