Embodiment for Robotic Lower-Limb Exoskeletons: A Narrative Review.
Article in IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Research on embodiment of objects external to the human body has revealed important information about how the human nervous system interacts with robotic lower limb exoskeletons. Typical robotic exoskeleton control approaches view the controllers as an external agent intending to move in coordination with the human. However, principles of embodiment suggest that the exoskeleton controller should ideally coordinate with the human such that the nervous system can adequately model the input-output dynamics of the exoskeleton controller. Measuring embodiment of exoskeletons should be a necessary step in the exoskeleton development and prototyping process. Researchers need to establish high fidelity quantitative measures of embodiment, rather than relying on current qualitative survey measures. Mobile brain imaging techniques, such as high-density electroencephalography, is likely to provide a deeper understanding of embodiment during human-machine interactions and advance exoskeleton research and development. In this review we show why future exoskeleton research should include quantitative measures of embodiment as a metric of success.
