Acquisition of Lower-Limb Motion Characteristics with a Single Inertial Measurement Unit-Validation for Use in Physiotherapy.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In physiotherapy, there is still a lack of practical measurement options to track the progress of therapy or rehabilitation following injuries to the lower limbs objectively and reproducibly yet simply and with minimal effort and time. We aim at filling this gap with the design of an IMU (inertial measurement unit) system with only one sensor placed on the tibia edge. In our study, the IMU system evaluated a set of 10 motion tests by a score value for each test and stored them in a database for a more reliable longitudinal assessment of the progress. The sensor analyzed the different motion patterns and obtained characteristic physiological parameters, such as angle ranges, and spatial and angular displacements, such as knee valgus under load. The scores represent the patient's coordination, stability, strength and speed. To validate the IMU system, these scores were compared to corresponding values from a simultaneously recorded marker-based 3D video motion analysis of the measurements from five healthy volunteers. Score differences between the two systems were almost always within 1-3 degrees for angle measurements. Timing-related measurements were nearly completely identical. The tests on the valgus stability of the knee showed equally small deviations but should nevertheless be repeated with patients, because the healthy subjects showed no signs of instability.
