Contributions of individual muscle forces to hip, knee, and ankle contact forces during the stance phase of running: a model-based study.
Article in Health information science and systems, 2022. 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
Knowledge of muscle forces' contributions to the joint contact forces can assist in the evaluation of muscle function, joint injury prevention, treatment of gait disorders, and arthroplasty planning. This study's objective was to evaluate the contributions of human lower limb muscles to the hip, knee, and ankle joint contact forces during the stance phase of running. A total of 25 muscles (or groups) were investigated based on the OpenSim framework along the anterior-posterior, superoinferior, and mediolateral components of each joint coordinate system. It was revealed that, during the running stance phase, the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, and iliopsoas mainly contributed to the hip contact force. The soleus, vastus group, and rectus femoris primarily contributed to the knee contact force, while the peroneus, soleus, gluteus medius, and gastrocnemius mainly contributed to the ankle joint force; some muscles simultaneously offloaded the joints during the stance phase. The distributive pattern of the individual muscle functions contributing to the joint load may substantially differ during the running and walking stance phases. This study's findings may further provide suggestive information for the design of lower limb joint prosthesis, the study of the biomechanics of pathologic walking and running, and the progression of joint osteoarthritis.
