Predicting Running Vertical Ground Reaction Forces Using Neural Network Models Based on an IMU Sensor.

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
Vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) plays an important role in the study of running-related injuries (RRIs). This study explores the synchronization method between inertial measurement unit (IMU) and vGRF data of running and develops ANN models to accurately predict vGRF. Fifteen runners participated in this study. Acceleration data and vGRF values of eight rearfoot strikers and seven forefoot strikers running at 12, 14, and 16 km/h were collected by a single IMU and an instrumented treadmill. The sliding time window synchronization (STWS) algorithm was developed to sync IMU data with vGRF data. The wavelet neural network model (WNN) and feed-forward neural network model (FFNN) were adapted to predict vGRF using three-axis or sagittal-axis acceleration data in the stance phase, respectively. One rearfoot striker and one forefoot striker were randomly selected as a test set, while the other participants formed training sets. After synchronization, mean absolute errors for stride time of the IMU and vGRF data were less than 11.2 ms. The coefficient of multiple correlations for vGRF measured curves and predicted curves was more than 0.97. The normalized root mean square errors (NRMSEs) between two curves were 4.6~9.2%, and R
