The Relationship Between the Effects of Lateral Wedge Insoles and Kinematic Chain Dynamics Between the Hindfoot and Lower Leg in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Knee.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07639411 (The Effect of Lateral Wedge Insoles on Lower Limb Biomechanics, Muscle Activity and Knee Adduction Moment During Walking and Running), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Purpose We aim to determine whether kinematic chain dynamics of the hindfoot and lower leg are involved in the effect of a lateral wedge insole (LWI) on reducing lateral thrust among patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Participants and methods Eight patients with knee osteoarthritis were included in the study. Evaluation of the kinematic chain and gait analysis was performed using an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The dynamics of the kinematic chain were calculated as linear regression coefficients of the external rotation angle of the lower leg relative to the inversion angle of the hindfoot during repeated inversion and eversion of the foot in the standing position (kinematic chain ratio (KCR)). Walk tests were performed under four conditions: barefoot (BF), neutral insole (NI) with an incline of 0 degrees, and LWI with an incline of approximately 5 and 10 degrees (5LWI and 10LWI, respectively). Results The mean (± standard deviation (SD)) KCR was 1.4 ± 0.5. The KCR was significantly correlated with the change in 5LWI lateral thrust acceleration relative to BF (r = 0.74). A significant correlation was also observed between changes in the hindfoot evolution angle and lower leg internal rotation angle with a 10LWI with respect to BF and NI, and changes in lateral thrust acceleration. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that the kinematic chain is involved in the effects of an LWI in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
