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

The KinaTrax markerless motion capture system, used extensively in the analysis of baseball pitching and hitting, is currently being adapted for use in clinical biomechanics. In clinical and laboratory environments, repeatability is inherent to the quality of any diagnostic tool. The KinaTrax system was assessed on within- and between-session reliability for gait kinematic and spatiotemporal parameters in healthy adults. Nine subjects contributed five trials per session over three sessions to yield 135 unique trials. Each trial was comprised of a single bilateral gait cycle. Ten spatiotemporal parameters for each session were calculated and compared using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Standard Error of the Measurement (SEM), and minimal detectable change (MDC). In addition, seven kinematic waveforms were assessed from each session and compared using the coefficient of multiple determination (CMD). ICCs for between-session spatiotemporal parameters were lowest for left step time (0.896) and left cadence (0.894). SEMs were 0.018 (s) and 3.593 (steps/min) while MDCs were 0.050 (s) and 9.958 (steps/min). Between-session average CMDs for joint angles were large (0.969) in the sagittal plane, medium (0.554) in the frontal plane, and medium (0.327) in the transverse plane while average CMDs for segment angles were large (0.860), large (0.651), and medium (0.561), respectively. KinaTrax markerless motion capture system provides reliable spatiotemporal measures within and between sessions accompanied by reliable kinematic measures in the sagittal and frontal plane. Considerable strides are necessary to improve methodological comparisons, however, markerless motion capture poses a reliable application for gait analysis within healthy individuals.
