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

Background: Lower-limb exoskeleton robots are being widely used in gait rehabilitation training for patients with stroke. However, most of the current rehabilitation robots are guided by predestined gait trajectories, which are often different from the actual gait trajectories of specific patients. One solution is to train patients using individualized gait trajectories generated from the physical parameters of patients. Hence, we aimed to explore the effect of individual gaits on energy consumption situations during gait rehabilitation training for hemiplegic patients with lower-limb exoskeleton robots. Methods: A total of 9 unilateral-hemiplegic patients were recruited for a 2-day experiment. On the first day of the experiment, the 9 patients were guided by a lower-limb exoskeleton robot, walking on flat ground for 15 min in general gait trajectory, which was gained by clinical gait analysis (CGA) method. On the other day, the same 9 patients wore the identical robot and walked on the same flat ground for 15 min in an individualized gait trajectory. The main physiological parameters including heart rate (HR) and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) were acquired Results: Between-group comparison showed that the individualized gait trajectory training resulted in an increase in HR levels and a decrease in SpO2 levels compared to the general gait trajectory training. The resulting difference had a statistical significance of Conclusion: Using individualized gait guidance in rehabilitation walking training can significantly improve energy efficiency for hemiplegic patients with stroke.
