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

The aim of this study was to objectively assess and compare gait capacity and gait performance in rehabilitation inpatients with stroke or incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) using inertial measurement units (IMUs). We investigated how gait capacity (what someone can do) is related to gait performance (what someone does). Twenty-two inpatients (11 strokes, 11 iSCI) wore ankle positioned IMUs during the daytime to assess gait. Participants completed two circuits to assess gait capacity. These were videotaped to certify the validity of the IMU algorithm. Regression analyses were used to investigate if gait capacity was associated with gait performance (i.e., walking activity and spontaneous gait characteristics beyond therapy time). The ankle positioned IMUs validly assessed the number of steps, walking time, gait speed, and stride length (r ≥ 0.81). The walking activity was strongly (r ≥ 0.76) related to capacity-based gait speed. Maximum spontaneous gait speed and stride length were similar to gait capacity. However, the average spontaneous gait speed was half the capacity-based gait speed. Gait capacity can validly be assessed using IMUs and is strongly related to gait performance in rehabilitation inpatients with neurological disorders. Measuring gait performance with IMUs provides valuable additional information about walking activity and spontaneous gait characteristics to inform about functional recovery.
