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

Upper limb amputation significantly affects daily functioning and quality of life. Although myoelectric prostheses offer a promising avenue for restoring motor capabilities, high rates of device abandonment underscore challenges in control performance and user integration. Recent advances in high-density electromyography (HD-EMG) and machine learning (ML) algorithms have shown potential to enhance prosthetic dexterity. HD-EMG interfaces capture richer spatial and temporal muscle activation data, while ML algorithms exploit this information to improve intention detection and motion control. This mini-review explores advancements in HD-EMG acquisition systems, including both interface designs and recording technologies, as well as ML algorithms leveraging spatial information. In addition to summarizing the current state of the art, we discuss the challenges and the opportunities of embedding these technologies in prosthetic systems, with the objective of facilitating the translation of laboratory research into clinical applications.
