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

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), a common degenerative joint disease, affects a large patient population and poses significant challenges in early diagnosis and rehabilitation. Achieving precise assessment of knee function and efficient home-based intelligent rehabilitation is crucial for alleviating pain, slowing disease progression, and improving patients' quality of life. This study proposes a smart wearable knee function assessment based on multimodal physiological signals and a rehabilitation system. The system integrates surface electromyography (sEMG), pressure sensors, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to synchronously capture gait, posture, and muscle activity. It quantifies knee function by extracting gait and EMG features. Additionally, a wearable massage device driven by airbags was designed and implemented to simulate the traditional Chinese medicine "seated knee-adjustment method" and deliver precise intelligent rehabilitation interventions. Experimental results validated the system's accuracy in functional assessment and reliability in rehabilitation assistance. The average relative error in gait feature extraction was below 8%, while the massage head displacement error remained within clinically acceptable ranges. By integrating multimodal sensing technology with intelligent rehabilitation devices, this system offers KOA patients a convenient, efficient, and sustainable home-based rehabilitation solution with strong clinical application potential and promotional value.
