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

Controlled trunk motion is crucial for balance and stability during walking. Persons with lower extremity amputation often exhibit abnormal trunk motion, yet underlying mechanisms are not well understood nor have optimal clinical interventions been established. The aim of this work was to characterize associations between altered lower extremity joint moments and altered trunk dynamics in persons with unilateral, transtibial amputation (TTA). Full-body gait data were collected from 10 persons with TTA and 10 uninjured persons walking overground (~1.4 m/s). Experimentally-measured trunk angular accelerations were decomposed into constituent accelerations caused by net joint moments throughout the body using an induced acceleration analysis. Results showed persons with TTA had similar ankle moment magnitude relative to uninjured persons (P > 0.05), but greater trunk angular acceleration induced by the prosthetic ankle which acted to lean the trunk ipsilaterally (P = 0.003). Additionally, persons with TTA had a reduced knee extensor moment relative to uninjured persons (P < 0.001), resulting in lesser sagittal and frontal induced trunk angular accelerations (P < 0.001). These data indicate kinetic compensations at joints other than the lumbar and hip contribute to altered trunk dynamics in persons with a unilateral TTA. Findings may inform development of new clinical strategies to modify problematic trunk motion.
