mmPhysio: Millimetre-Wave Radar for Precise Hop Assessment.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Motion tests for physiotherapy purposes are a cornerstone in a rehabilitation process. For many reasons, clinicians have been manually measuring and tracking movements so far, being subject to inaccuracies and increasing the time spent in those assessments. This paper studies the reliability of a millimetre wave (mmWave) radar to perform motion tracking for accurate hop tests. Once the variables of interest are extracted and the system set up, the results demonstrate that this system's accuracy allows its use in clinical environments, facilitating the task of tracking motion and extracting the distance covered by the subject when hopping. The radar outputs are compared against a well-known marker-based optical system, showing high agreement and validating the radar's effectiveness, with a difference of less 8 cm in the single hop test, 10 cm in the triple hop test, and 21 cm in the crossover hop test for 75% of all measurements. Hence, this approach offers a contactless, efficient, and precise alternative for physiotherapy motion assessment.
