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

Commonly, quantitative gait analysis post-stroke is performed in fully equipped laboratories housing costly technologies for quantitative evaluation of a patient's movement capacity. Combining such technologies with an electromyography (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal model can estimate muscle force properties non-invasively, offering clinicians insights into motor impairment mechanisms. However, lab-constrained areas and time-demanding sensor setup and data processing limit the practicality of these technologies in routine clinical care. We presented wearable technology featuring a multi-channel EMG-sensorized garment and an automated muscle localization technique. This allows unsupervised computation of muscle-specific activations, combined with five inertial measurement units (IMUs) for assessing joint kinematics and kinetics during various walking speeds. Finally, the wearable system was combined with a person-specific EMG-driven musculoskeletal model (referred to as human digital twins), enabling the quantitative assessment of movement capacity at a muscle-tendon level. This human digital twin facilitates the estimation of ankle dorsi-plantar flexion torque resulting from individual muscle-tendon forces. Results demonstrate the wearable technology's capability to extract joint kinematics and kinetics. When combined with EMG signals to drive a musculoskeletal model, it yields reasonable estimates of ankle dorsi-plantar flexion torques (
