Effects of customized orthoses on foot morphology and pressure in patients with accessory navicular syndrome.
Trial report in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the effects of customized orthoses on foot morphology and plantar pressure in professional athletes with accessory navicular syndrome (ANS) over a 12-month period, compared to conventional insoles.
methodsIn this randomized controlled study, 54 pro athletes with medial foot pain, diagnosed with ANS, joined after 3-month training. Split into two groups: custom orthotics (intervention) or regular insoles (control). Evaluated at 3, 6, 12 months on foot structure (arch, navicular, etc.) and function (pressure, force-time integral, VAS pain). Found significant improvements in intervention group's foot shape, pressure distribution, and pain reduction compared to controls.
resultsCompared to the control group, the intervention group showed significant increases in arch angle and arch height across all assessment intervals (P < 0.05). Additionally, heel eversion angle and navicular prominence distance significantly decreased in the intervention group compared to controls (P < 0.05). Pressure and force-time integral values at the first metatarsal head, medial arch, and medial heel significantly decreased, while lateral arch loading increased in the intervention group (P < 0.05). VAS scores for foot pain significantly decreased in the intervention group compared to controls (P < 0.05).
conclusionCustomized orthoses effectively improved foot morphology and reduced plantar pressure in professional athletes with ANS compared to conventional insoles. These findings suggest that customized orthotic intervention provides faster and more significant pain relief for patients with ANS-related medial arch collapse.
