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

Introduction: Running biomechanics and expected mechanical asymmetries with no history of running-related injuries, and (2) determine whether age influenced gait parameter asymmetry. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 250 runners were used to test age effects on biomechanical variables and asymmetry outcomes. Effect sizes of age brackets were determined for runner characteristics and biomechanical variables. Results: Runners aged 55 years had the slowest velocity and 1.7%-4% slower occurred in ankle flexion moments, ankle and knee frontal excursions, and peak VALR (range, 12.1%-33.8% different between right and left limbs). Discussion: Given that we did not find consistent effects. These data can help inform reference ranges of normative biomechanical metrics and guide clinicians in gait retraining and performance targets across the age spectrum.
