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

purposeThe study purpose was to determine the minimum number of monitoring days necessary to reliably capture walking among individuals with lower limb salvage.

methodsNineteen participants with lower limb salvage wore an ankle-mounted motion sensor over a 7-day period to obtain step counts. Generalizability theory was used to examine the variance components in step counts (G study) and to determine the appropriate length of activity monitoring using various combinations of days (D study).

resultsMean step counts were higher on weekends than on weekdays. Fifty percent of the total variance in step counts was accounted for by interindividual variability in walking (D study). Eighty percent was reached individually with 4 weekdays, 2 weekend days, or 3 week days + weekend days.

conclusionThe study provides data for an appropriate monitoring method to track walking outcomes of rehabilitation for individuals with lower limb salvage.
