Influence of Change in Echo Intensity of the Pretalar Fat Pad in Young Individuals With Chronic Ankle Instability.

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
This study aimed to investigate the echo intensity (EI) of the pretalar fat pad (PFP) in young individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and clarify the relationship between changes in the PFP and the clinical characteristics of CAI. Using the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI) scores, 26 limbs of 15 participants were divided into CAI (IdFAI score ≥11, male: eight limbs, female: six limbs, age: 21±1 years) and normal (IdFAI score <11, male: nine limbs, female: three limbs, age: 20±1 years) groups. The EI of the PFP was measured, and the luminosity ratio (LR) to the EI of the subcutaneous adipose tissue was calculated. To evaluate ankle joint stability and function, the fibulo-talar separation rate and weight-bearing lunge test (WBLT) values were measured. These parameters were compared between the two groups, and their correlations were statistically analyzed. The median IdFAI score in the CAI group was 15.5. The LR of the PFP was significantly higher in the CAI group than in the normal group (P<0.01). The fibulo-talar separation rate values were significantly higher (P=0.006), and the WBLT values were lower (P=0.011) in the CAI group. A moderate negative correlation was observed between the LR and WBLT values (
