Design Advancements toward a Wearable Pediatric Robotic Knee Exoskeleton for Overground Gait Rehabilitation.
Article in Proceedings of the ... IEEE/RAS-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics.

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
Exoskeleton assisted gait training in children with cerebral palsy (CP) offers the potential to increase therapy dosage and intensity compared to current approaches. Here, we report the design and characterization of a pediatric knee exoskeleton for gait training outside of a clinical environment. A multi-layered closed loop control system and a microcontroller based data acquisition system were implemented to provide individualized control approaches and achieve device portability for home use. Step response tests show the averaged 90% rise time was 45 ms for 5 Nm, 35 ms for 10 Nm, 40 ms for 15 Nm. The gain-limited closed-loop torque bandwidth was about 9 Hz with a 9 Nm amplitude chirp in knee flexion and extension. The actuator has low output impedance (<0.5 Nm) at low frequencies expected during use. Future work will investigate the long term effects of providing children with CP knee extension assistance during daily walking on gait biomechanics with, and without, the device.
