Development of a magnetic composite material for measurement of residual limb displacements in prosthetic sockets.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation and assistive technologies engineering. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionWearable limb-socket displacement sensors may help patients and prosthetists identify a deteriorating socket fit and justify the need for repair or replacement.
methodsA novel sensor using an inductive sensing modality was developed to detect limb-to-socket distances. Key detection elements were a coil antenna placed in the socket wall and a magnetic composite sheath worn over the outside of the prosthesis user's elastomeric liner. The sheath was a nylon or cotton prosthetic stocking coated with a polyurethane composite. The polyurethane composite contained embedded iron particles (75 wt%).
resultsBrushing γ-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane onto the sheath fabric, coating it first with unfilled polyurethane and then iron-filled polyurethane, enhanced bonding between the sheath and the composite and overcame mechanical degradation problems. A γ-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane-rich fumed silica layer applied to the outside of the sheath reduced friction and improved durability. Field testing demonstrated less than a 3% signal degradation from four weeks of field use.
conclusionsThe developed wearable displacement sensor meets durability and performance needs, and is ready for large-scale clinical testing.
