Satisfaction with ankle foot orthoses in individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
Article in Muscle & nerve, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
backgroundAnkle foot orthoses (AFOs) are commonly prescribed to individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). The aim of this study was to evaluate patient reported satisfaction with orthotic devices and services in individuals with CMT to provide preliminary data for advancing AFO development and improving clinical care.
methodsThe Orthotics and Prosthetics Users Survey was distributed via e-mail through the Inherited Neuropathy Consortium (INC) Contact Registry and includes 11 device-specific questions and 10 service-related questions. Participants were also asked open-ended questions about their experiences with AFOs.
resultsThree hundred and fourteen individuals completed the survey. Over one-third of participants provided negative responses, including dislike of AFO appearance, discomfort, abrasions or irritations, and pain. Ratings of orthotic services were generally positive.
conclusionsLower scores related to discomfort, abrasions and pain identified areas for AFO improvement. Continued research in these areas will be beneficial to informing and advancing AFO development and improving clinical care.
