A 6-Week Nine-Square Exercise Programme for Collegiate Athletes with Chronic Ankle Instability: A Randomised Controlled Trial.
Article in The Malaysian journal of medical sciences : MJMS, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have poor postural stability, functional limitations and low quality of life. Although nine-square exercise can improve postural control, there is limited evidence demonstrating whether it can function as an alternative CAI rehabilitation programme. This study aimed to determine the effects of nine-square exercise on postural stability and self-reported outcomes in individuals with CAI. Methods: Eighteen male collegiate athletes with CAI participated in either a 6-week nine-square exercise or a control group ( Results: Within-group differences, the nine-square exercise group experienced improved dynamic postural control ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that the nine-square exercise can offer an alternative rehabilitation programme for improving postural control, self-perceived ankle stability and functional ability in CAI.
