Proposed objective scoring algorithm for clinical evaluation of walking asymmetry in lumbar disc herniation, based on relevant gait metrics from wearable devices: The Gait Symmetry Index (GSiTM) - Observational study.
Article in Brain & spine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 proposed GSi algorithm aims to objectively evaluate the walking impairment associated with lumbar disc herniation (LDH).•GSi is calculated as deviation from mean (age-matched) normative values for gait velocity, step time asymmetry and step length asymmetry.•Clinical performance was assessed in a prospective, single surgeon series of 33 lumbar disc herniation (LDH) patients.•GSi was lower in LDH participants with significant distribution between surgical and conservative management subgroups.
