Influence of Talar and Calcaneal Morphology on Subtalar Kinematics During Walking.
Article in Foot & ankle international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundCadaver biomechanical testing suggests that the morphology of articulating bones contributes to the stability of the joints and determines their kinematics; however, there are no studies examining the correlation between bone morphology and kinematics of the subtalar joint. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of talar and calcaneal morphology on subtalar kinematics during walking in healthy individuals.
methodsForty ankles (20 healthy subjects, 10 women/10 men) were included. Participants walked at a self-selected pace while synchronized biplane radiographs of the hindfoot were acquired at 100 images per second during stance. Motion of the talus and calcaneus was tracked using a validated volumetric model-based tracking process, and subtalar kinematics were calculated. Talar and calcaneal morphology were evaluated using statistical shape modeling. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to assess the relationship between subtalar kinematics and the morphology features of the talus and calcaneus.
resultsThis study found that a shallower posterior facet of the talus was correlated with the subtalar joint being in more dorsiflexion, more inversion, and more internal rotation, and higher curvature in the posterior facet was correlated with more inversion and eversion range of motion during stance. In the calcaneus, a gentler slope of the middle facet was correlated with greater subtalar inversion.
conclusionThe morphology of the posterior facet of the talus was found to a primary factor driving multiplanar subtalar joint kinematics during the stance phase of gait. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This new knowledge relating form and function in the hindfoot may assist in identifying individuals susceptible to subtalar instability and in improving implant design to achieve desired kinematics after surgery.
