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

Background: Ankle sprains are prevalent in sports, often causing complex injuries to the lateral ligaments. Among these, anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) injuries constitute 85%, and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) injuries comprise 35%. Despite conservative treatment, some ankle sprain patients develop chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). Thus, this study aimed to investigate stress response and neural control alterations during landing in lateral ankle ligament injury patients. Method: This study recruited twenty individuals from a Healthy group and twenty CLAI patients performed a landing task using relevant instruments to collect biomechanical data. The study constructed a finite element (FE) foot model to examine stress responses in the presence of laxity of the lateral ankle ligaments. The lateral ankle ligament was modeled as a hyperelastic composite structure with a refined representation of collagen bundles and ligament laxity was simulated by adjusting material parameters. Finally, the validity of the finite element model is verified by a high-speed dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS). Result: CLAI patients exhibited earlier Vastus medialis ( Conclusion: This study found that changes in the laxity of the ATFL and the CFL are linked to shifts in metatarsal stress levels, potentially affecting ankle joint stability. These alterations may contribute to the progression towards CLAI in individuals with posterolateral ankle ligament injuries. Additionally, significant muscle activation pattern changes were observed in CLAI patients, suggesting altered neural control strategies post-ankle ligament injury.
