Robust Longitudinal Ankle Edema Assessment Using Wearable Bioimpedance Spectroscopy.
Article in IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveWe present a robust methodology for tracking ankle edema longitudinally based on bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS).
methodsWe designed a miniaturized BIS measurement system and employed a novel calibration method that enables accurate, high-resolution measurements with substantially lower power consumption than conventional approaches. Using this state-of-the-art wearable BIS measurement system, we developed a differential measurement technique for robust assessment of ankle edema. This technique addresses many of the major challenges in longitudinal BIS-based edema assessment, including day-to-day variability in electrode placement, positional/postural variability, and intersubject variability.
resultsWe first evaluated the hardware in bench-top testing, and determined the error of the bioimpedance measurements to be 0.4 Ω for the real components and 0.54 Ω for the imaginary components with a resolution of 0.2 Ω. We then validated the hardware and differential measurement technique in: 1) an ex vivo, fresh-frozen, cadaveric limb model, and 2) a cohort of 11 human subjects for proof of concept (eight healthy controls and five subjects with recently acquired acute unilateral ankle injury).
conclusionThe hardware design, with novel calibration methodology, and differential measurement technique can potentially enable long-term quantification of ankle edema throughout the course of rehabilitation following acute ankle injuries. SIGNIFICANCE: This could lead to better-informed decision making regarding readiness to return to activities and/or tailoring of rehabilitation activities to an individual's changing needs.
