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

Gait phase detection in IMU-based gait analysis has some limitations due to walking style variations and physical impairments of individuals. Therefore, available algorithms may not work properly when the gait data is noisy, or the person rarely reaches a steady state of walking. The aim of this work was to employ Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically a long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm, to overcome these weaknesses. Three supervised LSTM-based models were designed to estimate the expected gait phases, including foot-off (FO), mid-swing (MidS) and foot-contact (FC). For collecting gait data two tri-axial inertial sensors were located above each ankle. The angular velocity magnitude, rotation matrix magnitude and free acceleration magnitude were captured for data labeling and turning detection and to strengthen the model, respectively. To do so, a train dataset based on a novel movement protocol was acquired. A validation dataset similar to a train dataset was generated as well. Five test datasets from already existing data were also created to independently evaluate the models. After testing the models on validation and test datasets, all three models demonstrated promising performance in estimating desired gait phases. The proposed approach proves the possibility of employing AI-based algorithms to predict labeled gait phases from a time series of gait data.
