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

This study aimed to introduce and validate a new method to estimate and correct the orientation drift measured from foot-worn inertial sensors. A modified strap-down integration (MSDI) was proposed to decrease the orientation drift, which, in turn, was further compensated by estimation of the joint center acceleration (JCA) of a two-segment model of the foot. This method was designed to fit the different foot strike patterns observed in running and was validated against an optical motion-tracking system during level treadmill running at 8, 12, and 16 km/h. The sagittal and frontal plane angles obtained from the inertial sensors and the motion tracking system were compared at different moments of the ground contact phase. The results obtained from 26 runners showed that the foot orientation at mean stance was estimated with an accuracy (inter-trial median ± IQR) of 0.4 ± 3.8° and a precision (inter-trial precision median ± IQR) of 3.0 ± 1.8°. The orientation of the foot shortly before initial contact (IC) was estimated with an accuracy of 2.0 ± 5.9° and a precision of 1.6 ± 1.1°; which is more accurate than commonly used zero-velocity update methods derived from gait analysis and not explicitly designed for running. Finally, the study presented the effect initial and terminal contact (TC) detection errors have on the orientation parameters reported.
