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.
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
In this work, we present a case study evaluation that compares two methods of fitting the Body-Machine Interface (BoMI) to an individual with cervical spinal cord injury for the purpose of operating a robotic arm in 6-D. A BoMI is a control interface created by recording body movements and mapping them to the controls of a device or machine, and has shown promise for individuals with motor impairments whose access to standard interfaces is otherwise limited. Results from this case study show a one-size-fits-all placement strategy is not a sufficient fitting method for an individual with severe upper extremity limitations. However, when a flexible fitting protocol informed by a clinical evaluation is applied, we see improvement in two key categories: (1) success in map fitting and (2) robot task results. Informed by the case study analyses, we develop a novel method to customize and fit the BoMI to users in a way that is analogous to how commonly used assistive technologies are fit clinically: the BoMI Customization Evaluation (BCE). This new method of customization is determined from a physical evaluation conducted by a clinician in conjunction with participant feedback and BoMI engineers. Deployment of this novel method within a full evaluation study is underway. The current work focuses on the evolution to this protocol.
