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

Systems presenting haptic information have emerged as an important technological advance in assisting individuals with sensory impairments or amputations, where the aim is to enhance sensory perception or provide sensory substitution through tactile feedback. These systems provide information on limb positioning, environmental interactions, and gait events, significantly improving mobility in amputees and their confidence about using such devices. This review summarizes recent progress in haptic feedback systems by providing a comparative analysis of different feedback approaches, evaluating their clinical effectiveness and usability, tactile feedback system design, and user experience, while identifying key gaps in the literature. These insights can contribute to the advancement of more effective, user-centered haptic feedback systems tailored for lower limb prosthetics. The findings are aimed at guiding future research in designing adaptive, intuitive, and clinically viable feedback mechanisms, fostering the widespread implementation of haptic systems in both assistive and rehabilitative applications.
