The heel-raise test for ankle plantarflexor strength: a scoping review and meta-analysis of studies providing norms.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06404216 (The Effect of a Nordic Walking Group Training on the Physical and Mental Health of Older Adults Evacuated From Their Homes to Haifa- A Pilot Study), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
[Purpose] The heel-raise test (HRT) is sometimes used to quantify ankle plantarflexion strength. However, descriptions of the test vary and normative values are limited. This paper, therefore was generated to summarize procedures and provide normative values for the HRT in a younger and older age group of adults. [Methods] Electronic and hand searches were conducted to identify relevant literature. Meta-analysis was used to provide norms. [Results] Among 439 nonduplicative articles identified, 13 qualifying articles were ultimately included. Procedures for the HRT described in the studies varied considerably. The mean number of HRT repetitions was 28.7 for adults with a mean age less than 40 years and 11.8 for adults with a mean age greater than 60 years. [Conclusion] This study provides information on HRT performance and norms derived with them for younger and older adults.
