The Effects of Short-Term Wearing of Customized 3D Printed Single-Sided Lateral Wedge Insoles on Lower Limbs in Healthy Males: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND Unbalanced standing and gait asymmetry are common in individuals with musculoskeletal disorders. Achieving symmetrical posture and gait is an important goal of rehabilitation. This study investigated the biomechanical differences in the lower extremities observed immediately after an insole was used and without the use of different one-sided insoles. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty young, healthy adult males received 3 different insole interventions: experimental group A had a customized 3-dimensional (3D)-printed single-sided lateral wedge insole (CLWI) inserted on the left side, and experimental group B had on the left side, a traditional single insert. The control had unilateral flat insoles; no insole inserted into the socks. Motion mechanics and gait parameters were collected at the 2-time points, after insertion of the insole and after 20 minutes of walking with the insole. RESULTS Asymmetric posture and gait appeared immediately after using the 2 insoles (lower joint moment, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the abnormal posture and gait of experimental group B after wearing the traditional insole for 20 minutes were not obvious (P>0.05). However, the asymmetrical posture and gait remained in experimental group A after wearing the CLWI for 20 minutes (P<0.05). The center of pressure (COP) trajectory of the left foot of experimental group A was significantly higher than that of experimental group B and the control group at the 2-time points (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The asymmetry of posture and gait can be observed in a short time using a customized 3D-printed single-sided lateral wedge insole. This experiment provides guidance for the application of customized 3D-printed single-sided lateral wedge insoles for gait rehabilitation.
