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

The aim of this study is to examine the biomechanical interaction between an assistive wearable exoskeleton and the human body. For this purpose, a passive exoskeleton is designed to provide support during the transition from a squatting position to standing, while also enabling the resilient components to become active during the initial and mid-swing phases of level walking. The active period can be adjusted by a slot, which triggers the activation of the resilient components when the exoskeleton's flexion angle exceeds a critical value. This study also compares the effect of using different passive powered components in the exoskeleton. Electromyography (EMG) signals and angular velocity during human motion are collected and analyzed. Experimental results indicate that the designed assistive exoskeleton effectively reduces muscle effort during squatting/standing motion, as intended. The exoskeleton reduces the flexion/extension (
