Alterations in lower limb kinematics and moments in partial foot amputation versus diabetic neuropathy.

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
backgroundGait compensatory mechanisms associated with partial foot amputation (PFA) and peripheral neuropathy (PN) aren't well understood. PURPOSE: Current study aimed to assess deviations in the sagittal plane kinematics and moments of the lower limb joints in PFA due to PN versus PN alone.
methodsSagittal plane ROM and moment of the ankle, knee, and hip joints were measured for 53 participants assigned into two well-matched groups: (A) 25 subjects with healed unilateral PFA and (B) 28 subjects with PN peripheral neuropathy (PN). Gait analysis was conducted using a baropodometric system and STT 3DMA system.
resultsMANOVA revealed that both groups had a similar pattern of sagittal ROM curves of lower limbs (p = 0.402). However, PFA group showed a reduction in ankle plantar flexion during the preswing (p = 0.005). Descriptive analysis of the moment curves revealed that both groups had similar compensatory patterns, specifically reduction in ankle plantar flexion moment and reversal of knee moment during late stance. However, PN group had higher values.
conclusionIndividuals with either PFA due to PN or PN alone showed similar alterations in the sagittal plane kinematics and moments of the lower limb joints; they walked cautiously with excessive dorsiflexion throughout the stance phase, and the late stance phase was the most affected, while they compensated for the reduction in the ankle plantar moment by shifting the knee moment into extension moment. The results suggested that PN, not PFA, may be the primary cause of the gait alterations and PFA surgery only worsens the compensatory mechanisms.
