Skating efficiency and technique during roller speed skate using innovative piezoelectric smart socks: an exploratory study.
Article in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2025. 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
This study presents an innovative system for analyzing roller speed skating techniques. It involves socks equipped with piezoelectric sensors and accelerometers, for real-time data collection and synchronization with video signal. Sensors are mixed into cotton fibers, placed in three-foot areas, while the accelerometer is positioned above the external malleolus. Using this system, connected to a mobile APP via Bluetooth, data on foot pressure points, and efficiency metrics, are acquired and calculated. Comparative analysis of a high level competitive and a novice skater highlighted the ability of the system to detect different motor patterns while skating. The high level competitive exhibited different types of strides, with different utilization of foot areas and subsequent accelerometric values. The system could identify the "digital signature" of optimal skating technique, providing training insights for beginners and improving performance tracking. Future applications include building an elite athlete database to refine movement suggestions, with potential adaptability to other cyclic sports.
