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

Weightlifting is a common fitness activity and can be practiced individually without supervision. However, performing regular weightlifting exercises without any form of feedback can lead to serious injuries. To counter this, this work proposes a different approach to automatic weightlifting supervision off-the-person. The proposed embedded system is coupled to the weights and evaluates if they follow the correct trajectory in real time. The system is based on a low-power embedded System-on-a-Chip to perform the classification of the correctness of physical exercises using a Convolutional Neural Network with data from the embedded IMU. It is a low-cost solution and can be adapted to the characteristics of specific exercises to fine-tune the performance of the athlete. Experimental results show real-time monitoring capability with an average accuracy close to 95%. To favor its use, the prototypes have been enclosed on a custom 3D case and validated in an operational environment. All research outputs, developments, and engineering models are publicly available.
