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

For total knee replacement (TKR) patients, rehabilitation after the surgery is key toregaining mobility. This study proposes a sensor-based system for effectively monitoringrehabilitation progress after TKR. The system comprises a hardware module consisting of thetriaxial accelerometer and gyroscope, a microcontroller, and a Bluetooth module, and a softwareapp for monitoring the motion of the knee joint. Three indices, namely the number of swings, themaximum knee flexion angle, and the duration of practice each time, were used as metrics tomeasure the knee rehabilitation progress. The proposed sensor device has advantages such asusability without spatiotemporal constraints and accuracy in monitoring the rehabilitation progress.The performance of the proposed system was compared with the measured range of motion of theCybex isokinetic dynamometer (or Cybex) professional rehabilitation equipment, and the resultsrevealed that the average absolute errors of the measured angles were between 1.65° and 3.27° forthe TKR subjects, depending on the swing speed. Experimental results verified that the proposedsystem is effective and comparable with the professional equipment.
