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

Based on the asymmetric characteristics of left and right movements in patients with neurodegenerative diseases and their inherent coupling relationships, as well as the inevitable internal connection between them according to the principles of mechanical kinematics, and a processing method for the ratio of gait signals to left and right limb data is proposed. Using gait time series data collected from left and right limbs via pressure-sensitive insoles, a comparison was conducted among patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's disease (HD), and a healthy control group (Ctrl) in terms of the average, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation of the left and right sequences, as well as the ratios between them. It was discovered that there exists a close correlation between the ratios of left to right sequences and the actual standard deviation and coefficient of variation of these sequences. These ratios can be utilized for identifying the categories of PD, ALS, and HD patients. After using a median filter (
