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
Purpose: Quantitative measurement of hand motion is essential in evaluating hand function. This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of a novel depth camera-based contactless automatic measurement system to assess hand range of motion and its potential benefits in clinical applications. Methods: Five hand gestures were designed to evaluate the hand range of motion using a depth camera-based measurement system. Seventy-one volunteers were enrolled in performing the designed hand gestures. Then, the hand range of motion was measured with the depth camera and manual procedures. System validity was evaluated based on 3 dimensions: repeatability, within-laboratory precision, and reproducibility. For system reliability, linear evaluation, the intraclass correlation coefficient, paired Results: When measuring phalangeal length, repeatability, within-laboratory precision, and reproducibility were 2.63%, 12.87%, and 27.15%, respectively. When measuring angles of hand motion, the mean repeatability and within-laboratory precision were 1.2° and 3.3° for extension of 5 digits, 2.7° and 10.2° for flexion of 4 fingers, and 3.1° and 5.3° for abduction of 4 metacarpophalangeal joints, respectively. For system reliability, the results showed excellent consistency (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.823; Conclusions: Our depth camera-based evaluation system provides acceptable validity and reliability in measuring hand range of motion and offers potential benefits for clinical care and research in hand surgery. However, further studies are required before clinical application. Clinical relevance: This study suggests a depth camera-based contactless automatic measurement system holds promise for assessing hand range of motion in hand function evaluation, diagnosis, and rehabilitation for medical staff. However, it is currently not adequate for all clinical applications.
