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

Introduction: Walking ability is essential for maintaining functional independence, but it can be impaired by conditions like hemiplegia resulting from a stroke event. In post-stroke populations, accurately assessing gait anomalies is crucial for rehabilitation to promote functional recovery, and to prevent falls or injuries. Methods: The aim of this study is to evaluate gait-related parameters using a solution based on a single RGB-D camera, specifically Microsoft Azure Kinect DK (MAK), on a short walkway in both healthy (n= 27) and post-stroke individuals with hemiplegia (n= 20). The spatio-temporal and center of mass (CoM) parameters estimated by this approach were compared with those obtained from a gold standard motion capture (MoCap) system for instrumented 3D gait analysis. Results: The overall findings demonstrated high levels of accuracy (> 93%), and strong correlations (r > 0.9) between the parameters estimated by the two systems for both healthy and hemiplegic gait. In particular, some spatio-temporal parameters showed excellent agreement in both groups, while CoM displacements exhibited slightly lower correlation values in healthy individuals. Discussion: The results of the study suggest that a solution based on a single optical sensor could serve as an effective intermediate tool for gait analysis, not only in clinical settings or controlled environments but also in those contexts where gold standard systems are not feasible.
