A Real-Time Vision-Based Adaptive Follow Treadmill for Animal Gait Analysis.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Treadmills are a convenient tool to study animal gait and behavior. Traditional animal treadmill designs often entail preset speeds and therefore have reduced adaptability to animals' dynamic behavior, thus restricting the experimental scope. Fortunately, advancements in computer vision and automation allow circumvention of these limitations. Here, we introduce a series of real-time adaptive treadmill systems utilizing both marker-based visual fiducial systems (colored blocks or AprilTags) and marker-free (pre-trained models) tracking methods powered by advanced computer vision to track experimental animals. We demonstrate their real-time object recognition capabilities in specific tasks by conducting practical tests and highlight the performance of the marker-free method using an object detection machine learning algorithm (FOMO MobileNetV2 network), which shows high robustness and accuracy in detecting a moving rat compared to the marker-based method. The combination of this computer vision system together with treadmill control overcome the issues of traditional treadmills by enabling the adjustment of belt speed and direction based on animal movement.
