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

Previous work has shown that it is possible to use a mechanical phase variable to accurately quantify the progression through a human gait cycle, even in the presence of disturbances. However, mechanical phase variables are highly dependent on the behavior of the body segment from which they are measured, which can change with the human's task or in response to different disturbances. In this study, we compare kinematic parameterization methods based on time, thigh phase angle, and tibia phase angle with motion capture data obtained from ten able-bodied subjects walking at three inclines while experiencing phase-shifting perturbations from a split-belt instrumented treadmill. The belt, direction, and timings of perturbations were quasi-randomly selected to prevent anticipatory action by the subjects and sample different types of perturbations. Statistical analysis revealed that both phase parameterization methods are superior to time parameterization, with thigh phase angle also being superior to tibia phase angle in most cases.
