Foot Morphology Profile in Indonesian Recreational Runners.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background Foot morphology is influenced by factors such as physical activity, footwear habits, gender, and body mass index (BMI) and plays an important role in fields like orthopedics and sports science. However, data on the foot morphology of Indonesian recreational runners remain limited. This study aimed to describe the foot morphology of Indonesian recreational runners using a 3D foot scanner. Methods A cross-sectional study including 50 recreational runners was included. Data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire and foot scanning using a 3D foot scanner UPOD-S during static standing to assess a few parameters, including BMI, arch index (AI), heel angle, foot length, toe type, shoe size, shoe brand, vitamin D supplementation intake, history, and recent foot and leg pain, which were conducted via a physical examination by a foot and ankle surgeon. Result This study included 32 male and 18 female recreational runners aged 22-45 years with a mean BMI of 25.0±7.3 and 24.1±4.1, respectively. The average weekly running distance was 13.8 ± 13.1 km, with participants using various shoe brands. Shoe sizes varied from 36 to 44 (European sizing). Heel angles varied: three feet showed neutral, 20 mild, and one severe angle. All participants exhibited a normal or low AI. Toe types included Roman, Egyptian, and Greek types. The mean foot lengths in males were 256.2 ± 11.9 mm (right) and 256.1 ± 12.0 mm (left), and in females, 229.3 ± 8.6 mm (right) and 229.7 ± 8.7 mm (left). The AI values of most recreational runners were classified as low arch. Conclusion Male Indonesian recreational runners generally have longer feet than their female counterparts, although the AI values are similar between the sexes, regardless of foot pain. These mild biomechanical variations may have implications for monitoring and preventing musculoskeletal health issues.
