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

Postural instability is one of the main critical aspects to be monitored in the case of degenerative diseases, and is also a predictor of potential falls. This paper presents a multi-layer perceptron approach for the classification of four different classes of postural behaviors that is implemented by an embedded sensing architecture. The robustness of the methodology against noisy data and the effects of using different sets of classification features have been investigated. In the case of noisy input data, a reliability index of almost 100% has been obtained, with a negligible drop (less than 5%) being shown for the whole range of noise levels that was investigated. Such an achievement substantiates the better robustness of this approach with respect to threshold-based algorithms, which have been also considered for the sake of comparison.
