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: Ankle sprains are the most common lower-leg musculoskeletal injuries, frequently occurring among athletes and other physical activity individuals. The objective of this study was to compare the ankle range of motion and dynamic stability of healthy and injured athletes for their dominant and nondominant legs. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was selected to investigate this study with 32 male soccer players with average age: 22.6 ± 3.3 years, weight: 69.6 ± 5.7 kg, height: 176.8 ± 5.32 cm, with a history of a lateral ankle sprain on the dominant leg for the past 2 years. Ankle range of motion was determined using dorsiflexion and plantar flexion by a goniometer. The dynamic stability was determined using the SWAY medical system. An independent Results: There were higher significant differences for dynamic stability in healthy participants than in injured participants for their dominant ( Conclusion: The study found significant differences between the injured and sound legs. The injured dominant and nondominant leg revealed a striking disparity in the ankle range of motion. Therefore, the study demonstrated that ankle sprain causes due to less stability of the ankle joint, which limits ankle movements.
