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

Ice hockey is a dynamic and competitive sport that requires a high level of neuromuscular and cardiovascular function. An objective assessment of skating helps coaches monitor athletes' performance during training sessions and matches. This study aimed to estimate the temporal and spatial parameters of skating by proposing an optimized configuration of wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) and validating the system compared to in-lab reference systems. Ten participants were recruited to skate on a 14 m synthetic ice surface built in a motion-capture lab. Eight original event detection methods and three more adopted from gait analysis studies were implemented to detect blades-off and skate-strikes. These temporal events were detected with high accuracy and precision using skate-mounted IMUs. Also, four novel stride length estimation methods were developed to correct the estimated skaters' position using IMUs' readouts. The stride time, contact time, stride length, and stride velocity were obtained with relative errors of 3 ± 3%, 4 ± 3%, 2 ± 6%, and 2 ± 8%, respectively. This study showed that the wearable IMUs placed on skates and pelvis enables the estimation of temporal and spatial parameters of skating with high accuracy and precision, which could help coaches monitor skaters' performance in training.
