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

The evolution of motion capture technology from marker-based to marker-less systems is a promising field, emphasizing the critical role of combining electromyography (EMG), joint moments, and ground reaction forces (GRF) in advancing biomechanical analysis. This review examines the integration of EMG, joint moments, and GRF in marker-less video-based motion capture systems, focusing on current approaches, challenges, and future research directions. This paper recognizes the significant challenges of integrating the aforementioned modalities, which include problems of acquiring and synchronizing data and the issue of validating results. Particular challenges in accuracy, reliability, calibration, and environmental influences are also pointed out, together with the issue of the standard protocols of multimodal data fusion. Using a comparative analysis of significant case studies, the review examines existing methodologies' successes and weaknesses and established best practices. New emerging themes of machine learning techniques, real-time analysis, and advancements in sensing technologies are also addressed to improve data fusion. By highlighting both the limitations and potential advancements, this review provides essential insights and recommendations for future research to optimize marker-less motion capture systems for comprehensive biomechanical assessments.
