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

backgroundPlantar pressure measurement has become increasingly useful in the evaluation of plantar health conditions thanks to the recent progression in sensing technology. Due to the large volume and high energy consumption of monitoring devices, traditional systems for plantar pressure measurement are only focused on static or short-term dynamic monitoring. It makes them inappropriate for early detections of plantar symptoms usually presented in long-term activities.

methodsA prototype of monitoring system based on body sensor network (BSN) is proposed for quantitative assessment of plantar conditions. To further assess the severity of plantar symptoms which can be reflected from the pressure distribution in motion status, an approach to conjoint analysis of pressure distribution and exercise load quantification based on the strike frequency (SF) and heart rate (HR) is also proposed.

resultsAn examination was tested on 30 subjects to verify the capabilities of the proposed system. The estimated correlation rate with reference devices ([Formula: see text]) and error rate on the average ([Formula: see text]) of HR and SF indicated equal measuring capabilities as the existing commercial products . Comprised of the conjoint analysis based on HR and SF, the proposed method of exercise load quantification was examined on all subjects' recordings.

conclusionsA prototype of an innovative BSN-based bio-physiological measurement system has been implemented for the long-term monitoring and early evaluation of plantar condition. The experimental results indicated that the proposed system has a great potential value in the applications of long-term plantar health monitoring and evaluation.
