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: Trimalleolar ankle fractures often result in mobility and gait impairments. To date, there is little consensus on the rehabilitation regimen. Biofeedback is an emerging approach that improves gait in different populations; here, we utilized novel customized musical biofeedback to retrain gait following trimalleolar ankle fracture. Case Presentation: A 56-year-old male sustained a right trimalleolar ankle fracture and underwent surgical fixation, followed by immobilization, progressive weight bearing, and a regular physical therapy regimen. Additional gait training sessions were provided with musical feedback from pressure-sensing insoles to provide accurate cues to encourage medialized load pressure and prevent avoidance behavior. Outcome and Follow-up: Mobility, functionality, stance phase, stride length, total force distribution, and plantar pressure improved after training. Discussion: This is the first study on gait training after ankle fracture using customized pressure-based biofeedback with music to normalize plantar pressure and push-off phase.
