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

Introduction Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common diagnosis in the United States and worldwide. Core musculature helps to stabilize the spine in order to prevent buckling and provide optimal production of motion. Core deficits may contribute to lower extremity injury through kinematic changes in lower extremity movement. There may be an association between a theoretical core muscle deficit and the subsequent development of symptomatic PF. Methods A retrospective case-control study was designed using the Truven Health MarketScan
