Evaluating the Impact of Active Footwear Systems on Vascular Health and Static Balance: An Exploratory Study.
Trial report in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are prevalent in occupations requiring prolonged standing and repetitive movements, often leading to vascular issues and reduced static balance. Innovations in wearable technology, such as smart footwear integrating active systems, aim to mitigate these challenges. This exploratory study assessed the effects of a novel active footwear system, incorporating compression and vibration, on vascular blood flow and static balance in healthy adults. Sixteen healthy participants (seven men and nine women) were randomized into active and placebo phases, each involving repetitive tasks. Outcomes included reflection photoplethysmography, postural sway, and foot volumetry. Data were analyzed pre- and post-intervention, with statistical significance set at
