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

In an effort to overcome the disadvantages of reciprocating gait orthoses (RGOs) and medial linkage orthoses (MLOs), a new design of MLO was developed. Therefore the aim of this study was comparison effect of a new reciprocating MLO and traditional isocentric RGO on gait parameters and functional independence (orthosis donning and doffing time) in spinal cord injury (SCI) subjects to provide more evidence of its efficacy. Four people with motor incomplete SCI participated in this study. Each participant was fitted with an MLO and isocentric reciprocating gait orthosis (IRGO) to enable a comparison of walking speed, cadence and endurance to be performed. There were no statistically significant differences demonstrated in temporal-spatial parameters between the orthotic walking conditions in this study, but walking with the MLO improved the stride length and speed of walking by 28.57 and 40.9% compared with walking with an IRGO as a control condition. Hip flexion occurred predominantly during single-support phases, with negligible motion during double-support phases. The first and second Subjects had hip kinematic pattern more near normal when they walked with medial linkage reciprocal gait orthosis (MLRGO) in comparison with IRGO. There was significant difference between donning and doffing in two conditions (
