Design and Analysis of an Autonomous Active Ankle-Foot Prosthesis with 2-DoF.
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 3 papers.
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
This paper presents the development, modeling, and analysis of an autonomous active ankle prosthesis with two degrees of freedom (2-DoF), designed to reproduce movements in the sagittal (dorsiflexion/plantarflexion) and frontal (inversion/eversion) planes in order to enhance the stability and naturalness of the user's gait. Unlike most commercial prostheses, which typically feature only one active degree of freedom, the proposed device combines a lightweight mechanical design, a screw drive with a stepper motor, and a microcontroller-based control system. The prototype was developed using CAD modeling in SolidWorks 2024, followed by dynamic modeling and finite element analysis (FEA). The simulation results confirmed the achievement of physiological angular ranges of ±20-22 deg. in both planes, with stable kinematic behavior and minimal vertical displacements. According to the FEA data, the maximum von Mises stress (1.49 × 10
