Muscle forces and the demands of turning while walking.
Article in Biology open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Turning is a ubiquitous feature of human locomotion and like straight path walking, requires muscular force both to propel the individual forward and to stabilize the trunk over the stance limb. The purpose of this study is to identify muscle force patterns while making a turn and compare them to those of straight path walking. Kinematic and kinetic data were collected from 10 adults who walked unshod at their self-selected normal velocity in four conditions: straight line, 45° and 90° turns with a sidestep, and a 45° crossover event. A musculoskeletal model was used to calculate muscle forces in the pelvis and lower limb. Statistical parameter mapping (SPM) was used to determine whether the muscle force patterns of the three turning conditions were different from walking in a straight path. We find that, overall, the muscles that stabilize the hip and ankle during walking demonstrate differences in timing and magnitude of their force patterns across all turning conditions.
