Daily steps and stepping cadence increase one-year following prosthesis osseointegration in people with lower-limb amputation.

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
purposePeople with lower-limb loss participate in less physical activity than able-bodied individuals, which increases the mortality risk and incidence of metabolic syndromes. This study evaluated the effect of lower-limb prosthesis osseointegration on physical activity, including daily steps and stepping cadence.
methodsFree-living walking activity was assessed from 14 patients scheduled to undergo prosthesis osseointegration at two time points (within 2 weeks prior to osseointegration surgery and 12-months following). Daily step count, stepping time, number of walking bouts, average step cadence per bout, maximum step cadence per bout, and time spent in bands of step cadence were compared before and after osseointegration.
resultsTwelve months after prosthesis osseointegration, participants increased daily steps, daily stepping time, average step cadence, and maximum cadence per walking bout compared to pre-osseointegration.
conclusionsParticipants engaged in more daily steps, higher stepping cadence, and longer bouts at higher cadence one year following osseointegration compared to when using a socket prosthesis. As a novel intervention that is becoming more common, it is important to understand walking activity outcomes as these are critical for long-term health.
