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

objectiveWe developed two neural network models to estimate the three-dimensional ground reaction force (GRF) and center of pressure (COP) based on marker trajectories obtained from a markerless motion capture system.

methodsGait data were collected using two cameras and three force plates. Each gait dataset contained kinematic data and kinetic data from the stance phase. A multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and convolutional neural network (CNN) were constructed to estimate each component of GRF and COP based on the three-dimensional trajectories of the markers. A total of 100 samples were randomly selected as the test set, and the estimation performance was evaluated using the correlation coefficient (r) and relative root mean square error (rRMSE).

resultsThe r-values for MLP in each GRF component ranged from 0.918 to 0.989, with rRMSEs between 5.06% and 12.08%. The r-values for CNN in each GRF component ranged from 0.956 to 0.988, with rRMSEs between 6.03-9.44%. For the COP estimation, the r-values for MLP ranged from 0.727 to 0.982, with rRMSEs between 6.43% and 27.64%, while the r-values for CNN ranged from 0.896 to 0.977, with rRMSEs between 6.41% and 7.90%.

conclusionsIt is possible to estimate GRF and COP from markerless motion capture data. This approach provides an alternative method for measuring kinetic parameters without force plates during gait analysis.
