Footwear has a modifying effect on tibial loading during military weight carriage.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study investigated how different footwear conditions influence tibial loading across incremental load carriage during walking. Ten military-trained male participants completed walking trials under three weight conditions (0, 15, and 30 kg) and three footwear conditions (barefoot, trainers, and military boots) at 1.67 m/s. Kinematic (120 Hz) and kinetic (1200 Hz) data were collected using motion capture and force plates. Tibial loading was estimated via musculoskeletal modeling and beam theory, focusing on peak tibial bending moments and cumulative-weighted tibial impulse. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA ([Formula: see text]) examined main effects and interactions of load and footwear. Post hoc pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni corrections ([Formula: see text]) identified significant differences. A significant interaction effect was observed for peak tibial bending moments and cumulative-weighted tibial impulse per kilometer ([Formula: see text]). In trainers, tibial loading increased progressively across all loads (0 kg < 15 kg < 30 kg, all [Formula: see text]). In military boots, loading increased from 0 to 15 kg ([Formula: see text]) but not between 15 and 30 kg. Weight carriage increased tibial loading, but footwear modified this relationship. Military boots showed no significant change between 15 and 30 kg. These findings suggest implications for tibial stress injury, though further research is needed.
