1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Flatfoot is common among children. Symptomatic flexible flatfoot is one of the various types which needs treatment. Wearing insoles is considered one of the conservative therapies, but its effects are still uncertain. This study aims to provide evidence for the efficacy of insoles treatment among school-aged children with symptomatic flexible flatfoot. Methods: Patient who were Children who were diagnosed with symptomatic flexible flatfoot and received insoles treatment in authors' institute were retrospectively included. Their ages, body mass index, pain positions, pain frequency, valgus angle, arch index and visual analogue scale (VAS) score were collected before and after insole treatment. Results: A total of 32 children were included in this study. The results showed that wearing insoles for 2 years caused a significant improvement in pain frequency, valgus angle, arch index and VAS score. Conclusions: This study indicated that pediatric symptomatic flexible flatfoot could be relieved by wearing insoles for 2 years. Insole treatment might be a workable option for pediatric symptomatic flexible flatfoot in children older than 6 years old.
