Toward Convenient and Accurate IMU-Based Gait Analysis.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
While inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based systems have shown their potential in quantifying medically significant gait parameters, it remains to be determined whether they can provide accurate and reliable parameters both across various walking conditions and in healthcare settings. Using an IMU-based system we previously developed, with one IMU module on each subject's heel, we quantify the gait parameters of 55 men and 46 women, all healthy and aged 40-65, in normal, dual-task, and fast walking conditions. We evaluate their intra-session reliability, and we establish a new reference database of such parameters showing good to excellent reliability. ICC(2,1) assesses relative reliability, while SEM% and MDC% assess absolute reliability. The reliability is excellent for all spatiotemporal gait parameters and the stride length (SL) symmetry ratio (ICC ≥ 0.90, SEM% ≤ 4.5%, MDC% ≤ 12.4%) across all conditions. It is good to excellent for the fast walking performance (FWP) indices of stride (Sr), stance (Sa), double-support (DS), and step (St) times; gait speed (GS); and the GS normalized to leg length (GS
