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

Accurate estimation of the center of mass is necessary for evaluating balance control during quiet standing. However, no practical center of mass estimation method exists because of problems with estimation accuracy and theoretical validity in previous studies that used force platforms or inertial sensors. This study aimed to develop a method for estimating the center of mass displacement and velocity based on equations of motion describing the standing human body. This method uses a force platform under the feet and an inertial sensor on the head and is applicable when the support surface moves horizontally. We compared the center of mass estimation accuracy of the proposed method with those of other methods in previous studies using estimates from the optical motion capture system as the true value. The results indicate that the present method has high accuracy in quiet standing, ankle motion, hip motion, and support surface swaying in anteroposterior and mediolateral directions. The present method could help researchers and clinicians to develop more accurate and effective balance evaluation methods.
