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

[Purpose] To quantitatively evaluate smoothness during standing and sitting motion analysis using an accelerometer and to clarify the relationship between indices. [Participants and Methods] Seventeen healthy males participated in this study. We attached a 9-axis motion sensor to the spinous process of the third lumbar spine and measured the acceleration of standing and sitting motions under normal and unstable conditions. We estimated and compared the root mean square and entropy in the lateral, vertical, longitudinal, and triaxial composite directions. [Results] On comparing both conditions, the unstable condition indices were significantly high, except for the lateral direction of entropy. The root mean square was significantly negatively correlated with entropy under normal conditions. [Conclusion] The study results suggested that the acceleration index quantitatively evaluates motion smoothness. Since each index had different characteristics, the motion-specific index was observed to be significant.
