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

Accurate upper-limb motor assessment is critical for post-stroke rehabilitation but relies on subjective clinical scales. This study proposes the Action-Aware Multimodal Wavelet Fusion Network (AMWFNet), integrating surface electromyography (sEMG) and robotic kinematics for automated Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA-UE)-aligned quantification. Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) converts heterogeneous signals into unified time-frequency scalograms. A learnable modality gating mechanism dynamically weights physiological and kinematic features, while action embeddings encode task contexts across 18 standardized reaching tasks. Validated on 40 participants (20 post-stroke, 20 healthy), AMWFNet achieved 94.68% accuracy in six-class classification, outperforming baselines by 9.17% (Random Forest: 85.51%, SVM: 85.30%, 1D-CNN: 91.21%). The lightweight architecture (1.27 M parameters, 922 ms inference) enables real-time assessment-training integration in rehabilitation robots, providing an objective, efficient solution.
