Optimization of the gantry drive through dynamic testing and comparison with the crankset in a pilot study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The aim of the research was to conduct a pilot optimization of the gantry drive with a swinging pressure plate, which resembles the leg press exercise, using dynamic tests and to gather users' opinions about this new drive. Moreover, the efficiency of the gantry drive was compared with the commonly known crankset. The research was conducted at a load of 50 W on a group of young men, and the results were subjected to statistical analysis. The research has shown that the gantry drive with guides mounted at a positive angle provides the highest efficiency, and users evaluated this mechanism positively despite their first encounter with it. Additionally, it has been shown that in terms of efficiency, when operating at low power, the gantry drive is generally similar to the crankset. The gantry drive takes up less volume than the crankset, making it well-suited for compact road vehicles and advantageous for water vehicles as well.
