Enhancing Functional Rehabilitation Through Orthotic Interventions for Foot and Ankle Conditions: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Non-surgical, conservative approaches to foot and ankle conditions are of important consideration. Orthotics play a significant role in treating these conditions, preventing progression, and alleviating pressure on affected areas, thereby promoting normal gait. This article aims to assess the utility and effectiveness of various orthotic treatments in different clinical scenarios. We reviewed 27 peer-reviewed articles using electronic databases, employing keywords such as "orthoses," "orthotic treatment," "arthritis," "neuropathy," and "foot and ankle trauma." Studies conducted in recent decades have explored the effectiveness of orthoses in various conditions, including connective tissue disorders, tendon and ligament injuries, foot arthritis, neuropathic and inflammatory wounds, and sports-related recurrent injuries. Orthotic management has proven effective across diverse foot and ankle conditions. Integrating orthotic treatment with systemic approaches benefits patients with foot and ankle disorders. We believe this review can be utilised by clinicians in the management of foot and ankle disorders.
