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

Recent advancements have made two-dimensional (2D) clinical gait analysis systems more accessible and portable than traditional three-dimensional (3D) clinical systems. This study evaluates the reliability and validity of gait measurements using monocular and composite camera setups with VisionPose, comparing them to the Vicon 3D motion capture system as a reference. Key gait parameters-including hip and knee joint angles, and time and distance factors-were assessed under normal, maximum speed, and tandem gait conditions during level walking. The results show that the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC(1,k)) for the 2D model exceeded 0.969 for the monocular camera and 0.963 for the composite camera for gait parameters. Time-distance gait parameters demonstrated excellent relative agreement across walking styles, while joint range of motion showed overall strong agreement. However, accuracy was lower for measurements during tandem walking. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for time-distance parameters ranged from 0.932 to 0.999 (monocular) and from 0.823 to 0.998 (composite). In contrast, for joint range of motion, the coefficient varied more widely, ranging from 0.826 to 0.985 (monocular) and from 0.314 to 0.974 (composite). The correlation coefficients for spatiotemporal gait parameters were greater than 0.933 (monocular) and 0.837 (composite). However, for joint angle parameters, the coefficients were lower during tandem walking. This study underscores the potential of 2D models in clinical applications and highlights areas for improvement to enhance their reliability and application scope.
