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

backgroundHallux valgus occurs more frequently in women as they age; therefore, it is beneficial to prevent hallux valgus in younger women. The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of hindfoot morphology and the range of motion of the ankle joint with hallux valgus in young women.

methodsThe participants were 140 young women (mean age 18.8 ± 0.6 years). A three-dimensional footprint automatic measurement apparatus was used to measure the hallux valgus angle in the standing position and the arch-height ratio and heel-floor angle (HFA) in the standing and chair-sitting positions. The amount of change in foot morphology owing to differences in posture was calculated. The range of motion of the ankle joint dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, and eversion was measured. Participants were classified into two groups according to the presence of hallux valgus. Statistical analysis was used to compare hindfoot morphology and range of motion between the two groups, and the correlation between foot morphology and range of motion was investigated depending on the presence of hallux valgus.

resultsWith hallux valgus, the HFA tilted inwards (p = 0.010), and the change in the arch-height ratio due to the difference in posture was large (p = 0.021). There was no difference in the range of motion of the ankle joints with or without hallux valgus. In women with hallux valgus, the amount of change in arch height and HFA was correlated with the range of motion of eversion (r = 0.391, p = 0.027; r = -0.362, p = 0.042).

conclusionsWith hallux valgus, the hindfoot pronated, and the arch height decreased from sitting to standing. Furthermore, the amount of change in the hindfoot and midfoot due to posture was related to the range of motion of eversion.
