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

backgroundKinematics experts and physical therapists have implemented the use of sensors for 3D motion analysis, both for static and dynamic movements. XClinic movement sensors are advanced devices designed to analyze movement patterns with high precision. The aim of this study was to validate wearable XClinic sensors for range of motion (ROM) in healthy subjects and obtain normative data. Participants were enrolled at the Sapienza University of Rome in 2024. All participants had to be healthy subjects aged between 18 and 65 years. Data on their demographics, employment and physical activity were collected. All the subjects were tested to assess the active ROM of their shoulder, hip, knee and ankle bilaterally. The same movements were tested using a goniometer to investigate validity, and SF-36 was administered. Fifty subjects were enrolled. The mean age was 28.2 (SD 10.8) years. For the left shoulder, construct validity showed statistically significant values for flexion, extension and extra-rotation, while for the right shoulder, construct validity showed statistically significant values for all movements except intra-rotation. The results concerning the right hip showed statistically significant values for flexion, extra-rotation, intra-rotation and adduction. The left hip showed statistically significant values for all movements except extension. Both the right and left knees showed statistically significant values for flexion. Both the right and left ankles showed statistically significant values for all movements. XClinic sensors offer a reliable and valid solution for the precise monitoring of the ROM of the shoulder and lower limb joints, making them an invaluable asset for clinicians and researchers.
