Effect of rearfoot valgus on biomechanics during barbell squatting: A study based on OpenSim musculoskeletal modeling.
Article in Frontiers in neurorobotics, 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
Background: Barbell squats are commonly used in daily training and rehabilitation. Injuries are not common when the posture is standard, but the wrong posture can lead to injuries. Rearfoot valgus is a common foot abnormality that may increase the risk of injury during sports. The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanics of lower limbs in normal foot and valgus patients during barbell squat. Methods: In this study, 10 participants with normal foot shape and 10 participants with rearfoot valgus were enrolled. The joint angle, joint moment, and range of motion of hip, knee, and ankle joints were collected under 0, 30, and 70% one-repetition maximum (RM) load, where discrete data are statistically analyzed using the independent sample Results: In barbell squats, the range of motion and the joint moment of the hip, knee, and ankle in the rearfoot valgus participants were significantly larger than those in normal foot participants ( Conclusions: The valgus population showed a greater range of joint motion when performing barbell squats and showed genu valgus and greater medial knee contact force, which may increase the risk of musculoskeletal and soft tissue damage such as meniscus wear. In addition, there was no significant difference in the rearfoot valgus angle between people with rearfoot valgus and people with normal foot shape during squatting, so barbell squatting may correct valgus to a certain extent.
