Biomechanical variations in patients with flatfoot deformity: Impact of gender, age, and BMI on foot kinetics and kinematics.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 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
Background: Flatfoot is considered by the collapse of the foot arch, altered biomechanics and impacting functional abilities. The biomechanical gait alteration of foot kinematics and kinetics in individuals with flatfoot, based on gender, age and Body mass index (BMI) in each cohort is unclear. This study explores how gender, age, and body mass index (BMI) impact distinct foot biomechanical characteristics, including ankle joint angle (Jc°), Ground force reaction angle (GFR°), Achilles tendon force (T), Ankle joint force (Jc) and vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) during the gait stance phase, in flatfoot versus normal-foot individuals on Indian Population. Method: A foot pressure test and sagittal plane motion analysis were performed on 142 individuals with normal-foot arches and 102 with flatfoot, stratified by gender, age, and BMI. Calculations of the magnitude and direction of forces in ankle joint equilibrants relied on inverse dynamic analysis, vertical ground force reaction and mapping motion data of the gait stance phases. Result: In the midstance phase, females with high BMI (HBMI) in the middle and older age group (p = 0.029 and p = 0.014), and males with HBMI in the older age group (p = 0.039) demonstrate significantly higher Conclusion: The biomechanical issues in individuals with flatfoot, while accounting for the influence of gender, age and BMI, are crucial for tailored interventions and precise solutions to biomechanical issues, thereby enhancing foot function and reducing discomfort.
