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

(1) Background: Flexible flatfoot is characterized by medial arch collapse, leading to musculoskeletal impairments. We examined the effects of single-arch foot orthosis (SFO) and dual-arch foot orthosis (DFO) on arch height, kinematics, and kinetics in young females during walking and jogging. (2) Methods: Healthy females (n = 19) with flexible flatfoot were tested under three conditions: regular shoes, SFO, and DFO. Motion capture and a 3D force plate gathered biomechanical data. We also used a high-speed dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS) to assess dynamic foot morphology. Outcomes included normalized truncated navicular height, medial arch angle, angles and moments at the metatarsophalangeal, subtalar, ankle, knee, and hip joints. (3) Results: Both types of orthoses improved the normalized navicular height and reduced the medial arch angle, with DFO vs. SFO showing greater effects (
