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

backgroundThe Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) is used to screen patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and to quantify the severity of ankle instability. Neuromuscular deficits are common in CAI, including proprioception, strength, and balance issues. The relationship between CAIT scores and neuromuscular factors is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between ankle instability and ankle muscle strength, proprioception, and dynamic balance.

methodsThirty-four individuals with chronic ankle instability were included in this study. The participants' CAIT scores, muscle strength (isokinetic) and proprioception in plantarflexion (PF), dorsiflexion (DF), inversion (IV), and eversion (EV), and dynamic balance (Star Excursion Balance Test in anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions) were assessed. Bivariate correlations were used to determine the relationship between CAIT scores and ankle muscle strength, proprioception, and dynamic balance.

resultsIn terms of muscle strength, ankle PF (r = 0.378, 95%CI: 0.046-0.635, P = 0.027) and IV (r = 0.527, 95%CI: 0.233-0.736, P = 0.001) strength were positively correlated with CAIT Score, whereas ankle DF and EV strength had no significant correlation with CAIT Score. In terms of proprioception, ankle IV proprioception (r = -0.340, 95%CI: -0.608-0.002, P = 0.027) was negatively correlated with CAIT Score, while ankle PF, DF, and EV proprioception had no significant correlation with CAIT Score. In terms of dynamic balance, the SEBT posteromedial (r = 0.444, 95%CI: 0.124-0.680, P = 0.001) was positively correlated with CAIT Score. The SEBT anterior and posterolateral were not significantly correlated with the CAIT Score.

conclusionThis study found that increasing ankle plantarflexion and inversion muscle strength, improving dynamic balance in the posteromedial direction, and decreasing ankle inversion proprioceptive thresholds may help improve the subjective stability of CAI. This provides data support for targeted ankle neuromuscular function rehabilitation training for patients.
