Article in JMIR research protocols, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03989752 (Effects of an Overground Walking Program With Robotic Exoskeleton in Long-term Manual Wheelchair Users With a Chronic Spinal Cord Injury), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundIn wheelchair users with a chronic spinal cord injury (WU

objectiveThis study's overall goals are as follows: (1) to determine the effects of a 16-week wearable robotic exoskeleton-assisted walking program on organic systems, functional capacities, and multifaceted psychosocial factors and (2) to determine self-reported satisfaction and perspectives with regard to the intervention and the device.

methodsA total of 20 WU

resultsThis study is currently underway with active recruitment in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Results are expected in the spring of 2021.

conclusionsThe results from this study will be essential to guide the development, implementation, and evaluation of future evidence-based wearable robotic exoskeleton-assisted walking programs offered in the community, and to initiate a reflection regarding the use of wearable robotic exoskeletons during initial rehabilitation following a spinal cord injury.
