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

This dataset includes raw and processed data collected using a single lower-back-mounted inertial measurement unit (IMU) during a standardized 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) in a sample of sixty healthy adults (age range: 21-75 years; 50% female). Accelerometer and gyroscope signals were analyzed for metrological quality under static and dynamic conditions. A set of digital gait metrics was derived from the IMU data, including spatiotemporal parameters and measures of gait intensity, instability, symmetry, and regularity. These metrics are provided in the dataset alongside demographic, anthropometric, and physiological data. The dataset offers a practical, clinically relevant resource to support the development, validation, and benchmarking of novel algorithms for digital mobility assessments. Its structure enables comparisons across age and sex groups and provides normative data for future analyses on pathologic populations, supporting applications in aging studies, rehabilitation, and digital biomarker development. Raw signals, processed metrics and software codes are included in the dataset to support effective data reusability.
