Effect of Lateral Wedge Insole With and Without Thigh and Abdominal Muscle Strengthening Exercises on the Balance of Young People With Genuvarum: A Randomize Controlled Trial.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and Aim: Genuvarum is a common lower limb deformity that affects the alignment of the leg in the frontal plane. This can lead to changes in the ground reaction force (GRF) and center of pressure (COP) of the foot, disrupting postural control strategies, and causing balance issues. This study aimed to determine the effect of strengthening exercises of thigh and abdominal muscles, along with use of a lateral wedge insole (LWI) on balance in young people with genuvarum. Methods: A total of 40 individuals aged 18-40 with genuvarum were split into two groups, with 20 people in each group. Participants in one group received only LWI (LWI group), while those in other group received LWI along with thigh and abdominal muscle strengthening exercises (LWI + exercises group). Balance tests were conducted before and after the 4-week interventions under barefoot condition on a force plate. The tests included parameters related to COP in single- and two-legged standing for static balance, and loading rate of F0 and F1 while walking, peak vertical GRF, and time to reach stability while jumping-landing test for dynamic balance. Results: In the comparison between LWI + exercises group and LWI group, there was a significant decrease in variables related to COP during single-leg standing and F1 loading rate during walking ( Conclusion: Incorporating muscle strengthening exercises targeting muscles around the thigh and abdominal region, in addition to using LWI, can be beneficial in individuals' rehabilitation with genuvarum, helping to prevent injuries related to poor posture control.
