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

[Purpose] This study aimed to evaluate the effect of body weight support with an assistive device on predicted locomotive physical activity measured using triaxial accelerometers in healthy young subjects. [Subjects and Methods] Sixteen healthy subjects aged 21.9 ± 1.1 years walked on a treadmill at speeds of 45 and 55 meters/min under 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% body weight support conditions. Predicted metabolic equivalents and number of steps were evaluated using triaxial accelerometers. Measured metabolic equivalents and number of steps were evaluated using a metabolic system and observers, respectively. Raw data of synthetic accelerations were also obtained. [Results] Predicted metabolic equivalents and number of steps and raw data of synthetic accelerations decreased with increasing amounts of body weight support. [Conclusion] These findings suggest that accelerometers may underestimate locomotive physical activity with increasing amounts of body weight support using assistive devices. Thus, it is important to consider the amount of body weight support when assessing physical activities in subjects using assistive devices for mobility.
