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

This research presents the results of conceptual design and modeling of an exoskeleton. It is intended for ankle joint rehabilitation in patients with musculoskeletal disorders. The exoskeleton design includes three screw actuators that smoothly control motion in the planes of dorsal and plantar flexion, inversion, and eversion. The results of the virtual tests performed on the exoskeleton device demonstrated a high degree of adaptability to varying loads and different phases of motion. Controlled torque fluctuations and linear motion provide the necessary support during different phases of rehabilitation, which has a positive impact on the patient's recovery rate. The advantages of the design include material availability, ease of use, and flexibility in customization, making it an attractive option for use in both clinical and home settings. The study emphasizes the importance of developing affordable and accurate rehabilitation devices that can adapt to individual patient needs.
