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

Unanticipated postural control measures may better identify mechanisms of ankle sprains in real-life situations. The purpose of this study was to identify directional deficits in reactive postural control during unanticipated horizontal perturbations among groups of chronic ankle instability (CAI), ankle sprain coper, and healthy control. Sixty-eight volunteers (24 CAI patients, 23 ankle sprain copers, and 21 healthy controls) participated in this study. The participants performed a single-leg stance with unanticipated horizontal perturbations in four random directions of anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral. Anterior-posterior time to stabilization (APTTS) and medial-lateral time to stabilization (MLTTS) were calculated as an indicator of reactive postural control during horizontal perturbations. A significant interaction effect of the group x perturbation directions (3 × 4) was found. Both CAI and ankle sprain coper groups showed longer APTTS and MLTTS during medial and lateral horizontal perturbations compared to the healthy control group. However, no difference was found in APTTS and MLTTS during anterior and posterior horizontal perturbations between three groups. Directional deficits in reactive postural control during medial and lateral perturbations could result from sensorimotor dysfunction as consequences of lateral ankle sprains in the CAI and ankle sprain groups.
