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

Classifying human locomotor activities from wearable sensor data is an important high-level component of control schemes for many wearable robotic exoskeletons. In this study, we evaluated three machine learning models for classifying activity type (walking, running, jumping), speed, and surface incline using input data from body-worn inertial measurement units (IMUs) and e-textile insole pressure sensors. The IMUs were positioned on segments of the lower limb and pelvis during lab-based data collection from 16 healthy participants (11 men, 5 women), who walked and ran on a treadmill at a range of preset speeds and inclines. Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), and Light Gradient-Boosting Machine (LGBM) models were trained, tuned, and scored on a validation data set (
