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

backgroundAutomatic detection of

aimThe aim of this study was to enhance the accuracy of detecting and segmenting

methodTwenty-two patients living with PD performed activities of daily living that incorporate repeated transitions to a seated position in a simulated free-living environment during 3 min, 4 min, and 5 min trials. Tri-axial accelerations and angular velocities of the right or left ankle were recorded at 50 Hz using a SmartWatch. Random forest algorithms were trained using raw and filtered data to automatically detect and segment

resultsSensibility, specificity, and F-score achieved 78.3%, 93.8%, and 84.7% for

conclusionThis study demonstrates that a random forest algorithm can accurately detect and segment
