Does Gait with an Ankle Foot Orthosis Improve or Compromise Minimum Foot Clearance?
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 2 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 purpose of this study was to investigate if the use of an ankle foot orthosis in passive mode (without actuation) could modify minimum foot clearance, and if there are any compensatory mechanisms to enable these changes during treadmill gait at a constant speed. Eight participants walked on an instrumented treadmill without and with an ankle foot orthosis on the dominant limb at speeds of 0.8, 1.2, and 1.6 km/h. For each gait cycle, the minimum foot clearance and some gait linear kinematic parameters were calculated by an inertial motion capture system. Additionally, maximum hip and knee flexion and maximum ankle plantar flexion were calculated. There were no significant differences in the minimum foot clearance between gait conditions and lower limbs. However, differences were found in the swing, stance and step times between gait conditions, as well as between limbs during gait with orthosis (
