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.

Abstract

Critical to digital medicine is the promise of improved patient monitoring to allow assessment and personalized intervention to occur in real-time. Wearable sensor-enabled observation of physiological data in free-living conditions is integral to this vision. However, few open-source algorithms have been developed for analyzing and interpreting these data which slows development and the realization of digital medicine. There is clear need for open-source tools that analyze free-living wearable sensor data and particularly for gait analysis, which provides important biomarkers in multiple clinical populations. We present an open-source analytical platform for automated free-living gait analysis and use it to investigate a novel, multi-domain (accelerometer and electromyography) asymmetry measure for quantifying rehabilitation progress in patients recovering from surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Asymmetry indices extracted from 41,893 strides were more strongly correlated (r = -0.87, p < 0.01) with recovery time than standard step counts (r = 0.25, p = 0.52) and significantly differed between patients 2- and 17-weeks post-op (p < 0.01, effect size: 2.20-2.96), and controls (p < 0.01, effect size: 1.74-4.20). Results point toward future use of this open-source platform for capturing rehabilitation progress and, more broadly, for free-living gait analysis.
