Effect of double- density foot orthoses on ground reaction forces and lower limb muscle activities during running in adults with and without pronated feet.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe analysis of ground reaction forces and muscle activities during walking or running can help clinicians decide on the usage of foot orthoses, particularly in individuals with pronated feet. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of double- density foot orthoses on running kinetics and lower limb muscle activities in adults with and without pronated feet.
methodsForty male adults with pronated feet (PF: n = 20, age = 25.4 ± 0.3 years, body-mass-index [BMI] = 23.3 ± 1.2 kg/m
resultsTest-retest reliability for running speed data was excellent for PF and WPF groups and for the entire study cohort with intraclass correlation coefficients > 0.95. The 2-way ANOVA revealed lower peak F
conclusionsAlthough double- density foot orthoses resulted in some beneficial biomechanical effects such as lower muscle activation (e.g., m. vastus medialis) in individuals with PF, foot orthoses constructions need further modifications to achieve even better running mechanics to enhance performance and lower limbinjury occurrence.
