Trial report in Journal of athletic training, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03171233 (Immediate Effects of Two Ankle Mobilization Techniques in the Amplitude of Dorsiflexion and Dynamic Valgus Knee), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers.

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.

Abstract

contextA variety of ankle self-stretching exercises have been recommended to improve ankle-dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM) in individuals with limited ankle dorsiflexion. A strap can be applied to stabilize the talus and facilitate anterior glide of the distal tibia at the talocrural joint during ankle self-stretching exercises. Novel ankle self-stretching using a strap (SSS) may be a useful method of improving ankle DFROM.

objectiveTo compare the effects of 2 ankle-stretching techniques (static stretching versus SSS) on ankle DFROM.

designRandomized controlled clinical trial.

settingUniversity research laboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER

participantsThirty-two participants with limited active dorsiflexion (<20°) while sitting (14 women and 18 men) were recruited. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The participants performed 2 ankle self-stretching techniques (static stretching and SSS) for 3 weeks. Active DFROM (ADFROM), passive DFROM (PDFROM), and the lunge angle were measured. An independent t test was used to compare the improvements in these values before and after the 2 stretching interventions. The level of statistical significance was set at α = .05.

resultsActive DFROM and PDFROM were greater in both stretching groups after the 3-week interventions. However, ADFROM, PDFROM, and the lunge angle were greater in the SSS group than in the static-stretching group (P < .05).

conclusionsAnkle SSS is recommended to improve ADFROM, PDFROM, and the lunge angle in individuals with limited DFROM.
