Imu-based kinematic analysis to enhance upper limb motor function assessment in neuromuscular diseases.
Article in Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are neuromuscular diseases that lead to progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. Recent therapeutic advances for DMD and SMA highlight the need for accurate clinical evaluation. Traditionally, motor function of the upper limbs is assessed using motor function scales. However, these scales are influenced by clinician's interpretation and may lack accuracy. For this reason, clinicians are becoming interested in finding alternative solutions. In this context, Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) have gained popularity, offering the possibility to quantitatively and objectively analyze motor function of patients to support clinicians' assessments. We analyzed upper limb kinematics of two groups of children with neuromuscular diseases, seventeen DMD patients and fifteen SMA patients, while performing the corresponding clinical assessment. These two groups were further subdivided into two categories (Category A and Category B), according to disease severity (Brooke scores
