Effect of wearable robot Bot Fit's hip joint-centered assist torque and voice coach on walking.
Observational study in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07277166 (The Effect of Mobile Robot Assisted Gait Training on Gait Performance in Chronic Patients With Impaired Gait Function After Burn Injury), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe main key to the 4th industrial era is robots, and wearable robots are incorporated into human healthcare. Samsung Electronics' Bot Fit is a hip joint-centered assistive robot that can induce walking posture and energetic walking exercises.
methodsThis study is a cross-section study. Fifty-eight subjects consisting of older and younger adults participated. The straight walking test was conducted under the conditions of bare body, wearing the wearable robot Bot Fit assist mode, and applying voice coach. Spatio-temporal gait parameters were analyzed and the statistical significance level was set at 0.05.
resultsWhen assist mode and voice coach were applied, pelvic movement in 3 axes, stride length, and walking speed compared to the bare body increased. In young adults, stride length difference decreased in assist mode 1 and voice coach 1 compared to the bare body.
conclusionBot Fit's assist mode and voice coach method positively influence walking efficiency, posture, stride length, and speed, though potential interaction effects between these interventions should be considered. Personalized, real-time adjustments show promise for optimizing walking exercises, warranting further investigation into their long-term and population-specific effects.
