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

Continuous kinematic monitoring of runners is crucial to inform runners of inappropriate running habits. Motion capture systems are the gold standard for gait analysis, but they are spatially limited to laboratories. Recently, wearable sensors have gained attention as an unobtrusive method to analyze performance metrics and the health conditions of runners. In this study, we developed a system capable of estimating joint angles in sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes during running. A prototype with fiber strain sensors was fabricated. The positions of the sensors on the pelvis were optimized using a genetic algorithm. A cohort of ten people completed 15 min of running at five different speeds for gait analysis by our prototype device. The joint angles were estimated by a deep convolutional neural network in inter- and intra-participant scenarios. In intra-participant tests, root mean square error (RMSE) and normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) of less than 2.2° and 5.3%, respectively, were obtained for hip, knee, and ankle joints in sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes. The RMSE and NRMSE in inter-participant tests were less than 6.4° and 10%, respectively, in the sagittal plane. The accuracy of this device and methodology could yield potential applications as a soft wearable device for gait monitoring of runners.
