Association between the Beighton Score and Stress Ultrasonographic Findings of the Anterior Talofibular Ligament in Healthy Young Women: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 Beighton score (BS) is widely used to evaluate generalized joint laxity. However, the association between the BS and lateral ankle laxity is unclear. This study compared the ultrasonographic (US) findings of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) between high- (≥6) and low- (≤3) BS groups of healthy young women. The ATFL lengths of healthy young women were measured in the stress and nonstress positions using the previously reported technique from March 2021 to January 2022. The ATFL ratio (ratio of stress to nonstress ATFL length) was used as an indicator of lateral ankle laxity. The anterior drawer test (ADT) was performed. The correlation between the BS and US findings was also examined. A total of 20 (high-BS group) and 61 (low-BS group) subjects with a mean age of 23.8 ± 1.0 years were included. The high-BS group showed a higher grade of ADT than the low-BS group. No significant differences were found in the nonstress and stress ATFL lengths and ATFL ratio (1.10 ± 0.05 vs. 1.09 ± 0.05,
