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

Three-dimensional gait analysis (3DGA) in patients undergoing total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA, respectively) is impractical for widespread clinical use. This study evaluated the Azure Kinect, combined with the Motognosis AMSA software (AK-M), for the assessment of selected clinically relevant gait parameters in THA and TKA patients compared with reference 3DGA. Twenty participants (10 THA, 10 TKA) were simultaneously assessed using AK-M and Qualisys 3DGA while walking along an 8 m walkway. Discrete peaks of sixteen bilateral gait parameters were compared using Bland-Altman mean bias and 95% limits of agreement (LOAs), with ICC(3,1) as a complementary measure of relative consistency. Maximum hip kinematics and knee extension demonstrated low mean bias. In contrast, maximum knee flexion, knee range of motion, and step length demonstrated larger mean bias and wider LOAs. Cadence and gait speed demonstrated the lowest bias and narrowest LOAs. ICC(3,1) values ranged from 0.84 to 0.95. AK-M showed parameter-specific agreement with 3DGA, supporting preliminary concurrent validity for simplified assessment of selected discrete gait outcomes. Wider LOAs for other parameters identify areas requiring further technical refinement and clinical interpretation. These findings apply to the combined arthroplasty cohort and should not be interpreted as separate THA and TKA cohorts.
