Sex- and age-related variations in the three-dimensional orientations and curvatures of the articular surfaces of the human talus.
Article in Anatomical science international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
The high prevalence of foot pathologies in women and the elderly could be associated with gender and age difference in the morphology of the foot, particularly the morphology of the keystone of the foot, the talus. The present study investigated the orientation and curvature of the three articular surfaces of the talus in relation to sex and age based on computer tomography (CT), to identify possible morphological factors of the higher prevalence of foot disorders in women and elderly. Fifty-six participants were included in this study. The orientations of the talocrural, subtalar, and talonavicular joints were quantified three-dimensionally by calculating normal and principal axes of the articular surfaces defined by planar approximation. The curvature radii of the articular surfaces were quantified by cylindrical and spherical approximations. The talonavicular surface was significantly more twisted in the frontal plane and less adducted in the transverse plane in females than in males. With aging, the subtalar articular surface was significantly facing more posteriorly. Moreover, it was found that the curvature radii of the trochlea and navicular articular surfaces significantly increased with aging, indicating a flattening of these surfaces. The identified changes in the talar morphology with aging could potentially lead to a higher prevalence of foot disorders in the elderly.
