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

contextFemoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) causes pain and functional limitations. Little is known regarding walking characteristics, volume, and intensity evaluated in laboratory and free-living conditions and whether these measures differ between those with FAIS and uninjured individuals.

objectiveTo examine the differences in laboratory gait measures and free-living step-based metrics between individuals with FAIS and uninjured control participants.

designComparative, cross-sectional study. PATIENTS OR OTHER

participantsWe enrolled 25 participants with FAIS and 14 uninjured controls. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): We evaluated laboratory spatiotemporal gait measures (cadence, velocity, step length, stride length) during self-selected and fast walking speeds using an instrumented walkway. Participants then wore an accelerometer around the waist during waking hours for 7 consecutive days. Free-living step-based metrics included average daily steps, peak 1- and 30-minute cadence, and average daily time spent in walking cadence bands. We compared laboratory gait measures and step-based metrics between groups.

resultsThe groups did not differ in laboratory spatiotemporal gait measures during both speeds (all P > .05). The FAIS group took fewer daily steps (5346 ± 2141 versus 7338 ± 2787 steps/d; P = .030) and had lower peak 1-minute (92.9 ± 23.9 versus 119.6 ± 16.3 steps/min; P < .001) and 30-minute cadences (60.9 ± 27.1 versus 86.8 ± 22.4 steps/min; P = .003) compared with uninjured controls, respectively. The FAIS group also spent less time in slow (6.0 ± 3.6 versus 10.3 ± 3.4 min/d; P = .001), medium (4.5 ± 4.2 versus 8.9 ± 4.4 min/d; P = .005), and brisk/moderate (4.5 ± 6.2 versus 12.2 ± 10.3; P = .020) cadence bands compared with uninjured controls.

conclusionsClinical/laboratory gait measures alone may not be representative of real-world walking-related physical activity behavior in individuals with FAIS.
