Muscle Synergy Alteration of Human During Walking With Lower Limb Exoskeleton.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
Muscle synergy reflects inherent coordination patterns of muscle groups as the human body finishes required movements. It may be still unknown whether the original muscle synergy of subjects may alter or not when exoskeletons are put on during their normal walking activities. This paper reports experimental results and presents analysis on muscle synergy from 17 able-bodied subjects with and without lower-limb exoskeletons when they performed normal walking tasks. The electromyography (EMG) signals of the tibialis anterior (TA), soleus (SOL), lateral gastrocnemius (GAS), vastus medialis oblique (VMO), vastus lateralis oblique (VLO), biceps femoris (BICE), semitendinosus (SEMI), and rectus femoris (RECT) muscles were extracted to obtain the muscle synergy. The quantitative results show that, when the subjects wore exoskeletons to walk normally, their mean muscle synergy changed from when they walked without exoskeletons. When the subjects walked with and without exoskeletons, statistically significant differences on sub-patterns of the muscles' synergies between the corresponding two groups could be found.
