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

[Purpose] Femoral neck fractures are a common problem resulting from balance impairment. Toe grip strength is related to balance function. This study aimed to confirm the type of balance function that is highly related to toe grip strength. [Participants and Methods] The participants included 15 patients who were examined for differences in toe grip strength between the affected and nonaffected side. The relationship between toe grip strength and functional balance scale (FBS) and index of postural stability (IPS) was analyzed. [Results] The result showed no significant difference between the nonaffected and affected sides. A correlation exists between toe grip strength and FBS and IPS. In addition, the data from the center-of-gravity sway meter showed a correlation only between the toe grip strength and anteroposterior diameter of the stable area but not between the right and left diameters of the stable area and anterior and posterior trajectory lengths. [Conclusion] No significant difference was found between the affected and nonaffected sides. The results suggest that toe grip strength is related to the ability to move the center of gravity forward and backward rather than to sustain the center of gravity.
