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

Continuous kinematic biofeedback during exercise interventions can lead to improved therapeutic outcomes in hand and wrist rehabilitation. Conventional methods for measuring joint kinematics typically allow only static measurements performed by specially trained therapists. This paper introduces skin-conformal, wearable wireless systems designed to continuously and accurately capture the angles of target joints, specifically in hand and wrist. Supported by a computer vision-based calibration protocol run on a smart device, these magnetometer-based standalone systems provide patients and clinicians with continuous, real-time data on joint angles and ranges of motion through an intuitive graphical interface. Human trials in healthy volunteers demonstrate the accuracy and precision of the electrogoniometry system, as well as its compatibility with simulated hand therapy. We have also demonstrated the electrogoniometry system is suitable for tracking complex and rapid movements and for deployment during occupational tasks where it could serve as a biofeedback device to warn against excessive and clinically contraindicated motion.
