Effects of Arch Support Pad Stiffness on Lower-Limb Biomechanics During Single-Leg Landing.
Article in Sports (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Arch structure is a crucial interface between the human body and the ground during landing tasks, but the biomechanical effects of arch support stiffness remain insufficiently explored. This study examines the effects of arch supports with different stiffnesses on lower-limb biomechanics during landing. Twelve male participants (six normal arches, six flat feet) performed a single-leg drop landing from a 45 cm height under four arch support conditions: no arch support pad (NAP), soft-stiffness arch support pad (SAP), medium-stiffness arch support pad (MAP), and high-stiffness arch support pad (HAP). Dominant lower-limb joint angles and moments in the sagittal plane and vertical ground reaction force (vGRF)-related parameters-time to peak vGRF, peak vGRF, and max loading rate-were recorded using a motion capture system and force plate. Data were analyzed using one-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Arch pad stiffness significantly affected ankle and knee kinematics. The NAP condition exhibited significantly higher ankle plantarflexion at initial contact (
