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

Rocker sole footwear can be indicated as a treatment for forefoot load distribution disorders, such as diabetic ulcers, metatarsalgia, and hallux rigidus, among others, with favorable clinical outcomes. Pressure analysis studies on rocker sole footwear highlight results that explain their clinical benefits for forefoot conditions. There is insufficient data in the literature to understand the changes in foot mobility and anatomy caused by rocker sole footwear. This study proposes a methodology using weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) to evaluate the anatomical alterations in the forefoot associated with rocker sole footwear. The goal is to investigate morphological changes in the forefoot that explain the clinically established kinetic and kinematic effects of such footwear. Biomechanical analysis potentially enhances the understanding of kinetic and kinematic findings without the bias of rocker sole position or magnitude changes.
