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
backgroundThe aim of the present study was to investigate the morphologic features and mechanical properties of plantar fascia (PF), flexor hallucis brevis (FHB), flexor digitorum brevis (FDB), and abductor hallucis (AbH) muscles in individuals with halluks valgus (HV) and to compare the results with individuals without HV.
methodsA total of 30 participants (27 female, 3 male) between the ages of 19-58 years with HV deformity and 30 individuals without HV (27 female, 3 male) between the ages of 20-58 years were included in the study. AbH, PF, FHB, and FDB thickness, cross-sectional area and stiffness were measured with an ultrasonography device. For stiffness measurements, Shear Wave Velocity (SWV) of the assessed soft tissues was calculated using a customized software program.
resultsMean and standard deviation of SWV of PF, AbH, FHB, FDB, and thickness of PF, AbH, FHB, FDB, and cross-sectional area of AbH, FHB, FDB in individuals with HV were 7.6 ± 1.0 m/sec, 2.8 ± 0.3 m/sec, 2.6 ± 0.4 m/sec, and 3.4 ± 0.2 m/sec, 3.3 ± 0.5 mm, 11.4 ± 2.2 mm, 16.5 ± 1.9 mm, 8.9 ± 1.8 mm, 2.4 ± 0.5 cm
conclusionOur results suggest that individuals with HV had lower AbH and FHB stiffness, however PF and FDB stiffness were similar in HV and control group. In addition, AbH and FHB thickness and cross-sectional area were lower in individuals with HV; however, FDB thickness and cross-sectional area were higher in individuals with HV compared to that of individuals without HV. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Diagnostic Study.
