Ground Contact Time Estimating Wearable Sensor to Measure Spatio-Temporal Aspects of Gait.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. 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
Inpatient gait analysis is an essential part of rehabilitation for foot amputees and includes the ground contact time (GCT) difference of both legs as an essential component. Doctors communicate improvement advice to patients regarding their gait pattern based on a few steps taken at the doctor's visit. A wearable sensor system, called Suralis, consisting of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a pressure measuring sock, including algorithms calculating GCT, is presented. Two data acquisitions were conducted to implement and validate initial contact (IC) and toe-off (TO) event detection algorithms as the basis for the GCT difference determination for able-bodied and prosthesis wearers. The results of the algorithms show a median GCT error of -51.7 ms (IMU) and 14.7 ms (sensor sock) compared to the ground truth and thus represent a suitable possibility for wearable gait analysis. The wearable system presented, therefore, enables a continuous feedback system for patients and, above all, a remote diagnosis of spatio-temporal aspects of gait behaviour based on reliable data collected in everyday life.
