Are there changes in the foot biomechanics during the before and after fifth metatarsal fracture running stance phase?
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The purpose of this study is to restore the before fracture kinematic state by using the observed foot bone displacements as boundary conditions for finite element (FE) analysis. Secondly, this study aims to compare the biomechanical changes of the foot before and after a metatarsal (MT) fracture using this method. A total of 21 subjects had previously experienced a shaft stress fracture of the MT5 in the six months before the collection of experimental data. All patients received treatment through the use of cast immobilization for duration of 4-6 weeks. After the subject's recovery, we obtained gait biomechanical data. At the same time, we also obtained gait data from 21 healthy subjects as the control group. This study found that when a fracture of the MT5 occurs, even after rehabilitation, there is a significant impact on the metatarsal.
