Regulation of whole-body angular momentum during human walking.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
In human walking, whole-body angular momentum (WBAM) about the body centre-of-mass is reportedly maintained in a small range throughout a gait cycle by the intersegmental cancellation of angular momentum. However, the WBAM is certainly not zero, which indicates that external moments applied from the ground due to ground reaction forces (GRFs) and vertical free moments (VFMs) counteract the WBAM. This study provides a complete dataset of the WBAM, each segmental angular momentum, and the external moments due to GRFs and VFMs during human walking. This is done to test whether (1) the three components of the WBAM are cancelled by coordinated intersegmental movements, and whether (2) the external moments due to GRFs and VFMs contribute only minimally to WBAM regulation throughout a gait cycle. This study demonstrates that WBAM is regulated in a small range not only by the segment-to-segment cancellation, but also largely through contributions by the GRFs. The magnitude of VFM is significantly smaller than the peak vertical moment generated by the GRFs; however, in the single-support phase during walking, the VFM is possibly critical for coping with the change in the vertical WBAM due to force perturbations and arm or trunk movements.
