Risk of Fall in Patients with Functional Hallux Limitus: A Case-Control Study Using an Inertial Measurement Unit.

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
Functional hallux limitus (FHL) is a biomechanical condition defined by restricted motion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint during walking, which may impair stability and increase fall risk in older adults. This study compared fall risk between patients with asymptomatic FHL and healthy controls using validated assessments. The case-control design included 40 participants over 65 years, divided into 20 with FHL and 20 controls. Mobility was evaluated with the Timed Up and Go Test, postural stability with the Berg Balance Scale, and fear of falling with the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). Spatiotemporal gait parameters were measured using an inertial measurement unit (IMU). No significant differences were found between groups in the Timed Up and Go Test (
