Mapping the Multidimensional Link Between Spatiotemporal Gait Features and Metabolic Cost in Older Adults.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. 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
Walking becomes less economical with age, but the links between detailed gait mechanics and metabolic energy expenditure remain unclear. This study examined multidimensional associations between gait characteristics and walking energetics in community-dwelling older adults. Eighty-five participants, including 62.4% women, completed a steady-state walking task while metabolic energy expenditure was measured using portable indirect calorimetry. Four energetic outcomes were analyzed: walking cost as a percent of peak metabolic capability, steady-state walking metabolic rate, gross cost of transport, and reserve cost of transport. Gait was assessed using an instrumented walkway and summarized across spatial, temporal, and variability domains, yielding 28 gait parameters. Pearson correlations were calculated between each gait parameter and each metabolic outcome, with significance set at
