A Muscle-First, Electromechanical Hybrid Gait Restoration System in People With Spinal Cord Injury.
Article in Frontiers in robotics and AI, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The development of a hybrid system for people with spinal cord injuries is described. The system includes implanted neural stimulation to activate the user's otherwise paralyzed muscles, an exoskeleton with electromechanical actuators at the hips and knees, and a sensory and control system that integrates both components. We are using a muscle-first approach: The person's muscles are the primary motivator for his/her joints and the motors provide power assistance. This design philosophy led to the development of high efficiency, low friction joint actuators, and feed-forward, burst-torque control. The system was tested with two participants with spinal cord injury (SCI) and unique implanted stimulation systems. Torque burst addition was found to increase gait speed. The system was found to satisfy the main design requirements as laid out at the outset.
