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

Context: Recurrent trauma and altered biomechanics in those with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have been linked to altered joint loading. Previous studies revealed that patients with CAI exhibit altered joint contact force (JCF) profiles relative to uninjured individuals during walking and landing. Identifying more easily obtainable outcomes that are associated with ankle JCF in those with CAI would reduce the knowledge gap between loading profiles at the ankle joint and outcomes related to CAI. Objective: To quantify how ankle JCF, structural measures, postural control, and walking biomechanics interrelate in patients with CAI and how CAI variables predict ankle JCF. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Research laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 21 patients with CAI (7 men, 15 women; age = 23 ± 4 years, height = 171.6 ± 8.3 cm, mass = 71.7 ± 12.1 kg). Main Outcome Measures: Triaxial peaks, impulses, and loading rates of ankle JCF were captured. Rearfoot alignment, Star Excursion Balance Test reach distances, weight-bearing lunge test score, and peak ankle angles and moments during the stance phase of walking were also recorded. Partial Pearson Results: Less compressive JCF variables were associated with more rearfoot varus alignment ( Conclusions: Although our results suggest potential associations between gait biomechanics, structural measures, and postural control with ankle JCF, further research is needed to determine if targeting these factors during therapeutic interventions would modify mechanical loading at the ankle joint during walking.
