A Prosthetic Socket with Active Volume Compensation for Amputated Lower Limb.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Typically, the actual volume of the residual limb changes over time. This causes the prosthesis to not fit, and then pain and skin disease. In this study, a prosthetic socket was developed to compensate for the volume change of the residual limb. Using an inflatable air bladder, the proposed socket monitors the pressure in the socket and keeps the pressure distribution uniform and constant while walking. The socket has three air bladders on anterior and posterior tibia areas, a latching type 3-way pneumatic valve and a portable control device. In the paper, the mechanical properties of the air bladder were investigated, and the electromagnetic analysis was performed to design the pneumatic valve. The controller is based on a hysteresis control algorithm with a closed loop, which keeps the pressure in the socket close to the initial set point over a long period of time. In experiments, the proposed prosthesis was tested through the gait simulator that can imitate a human's gait cycle. The active volume compensation of the socket was successfully verified during repetitive gait cycle using the weight loads of 50, 70, and 90 kg and the residual limb model with a variety of volumes. It was confirmed that the pressure of the residual limb recovered to the initial state through the active control. The pressure inside the socket had a steady state error of less than 0.75% even if the volume of the residual limb was changed from -7% to +7%.
