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

Providing reliable sensory feedback is one of the most challenging aspects of transfemoral prosthetics, motivating the development of intuitive vibrotactile interfaces capable of conveying information about limb position in real-time. The aim of this study was to develop a vibrotactile feedback prototype and examine which interstimulus intervals (ISIs) and vibration waveforms might best enhance recognition of sequential tactile patterns. The results will be used to inform the development of a prototype to be tested on participants with transfemoral amputation where prosthetic feedback is provided. A forearm-mounted six-actuator feedback system, encoding eight lower-limb configurations, was used in two experiments with healthy adults. Experiment 1 assessed recognition accuracy across ISIs from 10 to 110 ms, while Experiment 2 compared sinusoidal and square waveforms under matched conditions. Recognition accuracy was high across all tested conditions, with no significant effects of ISI (
