Effects of natural shoe wear on traction performance: a longitudinal study.
Article in Footwear science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06234124 (Characterization and Clinical Trial of a Variable Friction Shoe, a New Paradigm of Reduced-constraint Locomotor Therapy for People Exhibiting Foot Drop Due to Stroke), 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.
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.

Abstract
Footwear outsole design is an important factor for shoe-floor friction and for preventing slipping. Shoes with small, uniformly-separated tread blocks (often included on slip-resistant shoes) have decreased slip risk due to their increased friction and better under-shoe fluid drainage. However, these traction performance metrics (friction and fluid drainage) diminish with wear. This study quantifies shoe traction performance in response to natural wear and compares the relationship between common wear metrics: time, distance walked, and worn region size (WRS). Participants wore two pairs of shoes in the workplace for up to 11 months and the distance walked was tracked with a pedometer. After each month of wear, traction performance and WRS of each shoe were measured. Traction performance was quantified by the under-shoe available coefficient of friction and fluid force during a simulated slip condition. Increased wear (months worn, distance walked, and WRS) was associated with decreased traction performance. A WRS of 800 mm
