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

Extreme angles in lower body joints may adversely increase the risk of injury to joints. These injuries are common in the workplace and cause persistent pain and significant financial losses to people and companies. The purpose of this study was to predict lower body joint angles from the ankle to the lumbosacral joint (L5S1) by measuring plantar pressures in shoes. Joint angle prediction was aided by a designed footwear sensor consisting of six force-sensing resistors (FSR) and a microcontroller fitted with Bluetooth LE sensors. An Xsens motion capture system was utilized as a ground truth validation measuring 3D joint angles. Thirty-seven human subjects were tested squatting in an IRB-approved study. The Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) linear regression algorithm was used to create a progressive model that predicted the angles of ankle, knee, hip, and L5S1. The footwear sensor showed a promising root mean square error (RMSE) for each joint. The L5S1 angle was predicted to be RMSE of 0.21° for the X-axis and 0.22° for the Y-axis, respectively. This result confirmed that the proposed plantar sensor system had the capability to predict and monitor lower body joint angles for potential injury prevention and training of occupational workers.
