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

The anatomical structure of the foot can be assessed by examining the plantar footprint for orthopedic intervention. In fact, there is a relationship between a specific type of foot and multiple musculoskeletal disorders, which are among the main ailments affecting the lower extremities, where its accurate classification is essential for early diagnosis. This work aims to develop a method for accurately classifying the plantar footprint and hindfoot, specifically concerning the sagittal plane. A custom image dataset was created, comprising 603 RGB plantar images that were modified and augmented. Six state-of-the-art models have been trained and evaluated: swin_tiny_patch4_window7_224, convnextv2_tiny, deit3_base_patch16_224, xception41, inception-v4, and efficientnet_b0. Among them, the swin_tiny_patch4_window7_224 model achieved 98.013% accuracy, demonstrating its potential as a reliable and low-cost tool for clinical screening and diagnosis of foot-related conditions.
