Prospective Cohort Validation Study of a Novel Foot Offloading Device.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04378270 (Validation of a Novel Foot Offloading Device), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pressure offloading is often considered a crucial factor affecting healing after a foot injury. We have devised a novel foot offloading device (PopSole) which allows for immediate customization of the area where there is foot pain and allows for adjustable arch support and metatarsal pad height while maintaining patient stability. We hypothesize that pain and function outcomes will improve significantly after use of the device over a 1-month period. Ten participants with foot pain for longer than 6 months completed five validated outcome questionnaires during three visits (initial screening, at 2 weeks, and at 4 weeks). Devices were deflated in areas of pain specific for each patient. Validated patient reported outcomes measures showed significant improvement in pain and function from baseline to week two (r = 0.644,
