Walking on different inclines affects gait symmetry differently in the anterior-posterior and vertical directions: implication for future sensorimotor training.
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A symmetric gait pattern in humans reflects near-identical movement in bilateral limbs during walking. However, little is known about how gait symmetry changes on different inclines. This study aimed to address this knowledge gap using the central pattern generator and internal model hypotheses. Eighteen healthy young adults underwent five 2-minute walking trials (inclines of +15%, +8%, 0%, -8%, and -15%). Dependent variables included step time, step length, step width, maximum heel clearance, time to peaks of maximum heel clearance, their corresponding coefficients of variation (CV), and respective symmetry indices (SI). Significant differences were observed in SI of step length (
