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

Coordinated movement of four limbs is a hallmark of healthy locomotion. No measures exist to quantify four-limb coordination. This study aimed to investigate temporal four-limb coordination and proposed a new metric for quantifying the inter-limb phase of rhythmic locomotion-related movements. Kinetic data of arm and leg movements generated during walking (self-selected speed) from healthy adults were used to extract the phases (φ) between all possible limb pairings. The φ series were used to calculate each pair's Phase Coordination Index (PCI). The PCI quantifies the accuracy and consistency of generating anti-phased rhythmic movements (lower PCI values mean better coordination). We also calculated the Quadruple-PCI (Q-PCI) by combining all φ values of all limb pairs. We found a significant correlation between the PCI values of all limb pairings and the Q-PCI (pairs involving arms: Pearson's R > 0.79,
