Pediatric foot anthropometry and its correlation with growth assessment.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Foot dimensions, particularly length and width, are essential anthropometric parameters often used in health, ergonomics, and footwear design. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between foot dimensions, age, and height among children aged 4 to 12 years in Ekpoma, Edo State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted with 389 children, randomly selected from schools and community centres. Data were collected using standardised anthropometric measurements, including foot length, foot width, and height, ensuring accuracy and consistency. Pearson’s correlation and independent t-tests were used to examine relationships among variables and to identify sex-based differences. Descriptive statistics revealed variations in foot dimensions across the age groups, with a mean foot length of 19.49 cm and a mean foot width of 6.87 cm. Foot length showed moderate-to-strong correlations with age in younger children (overall r = 0.549, p < 0.001) and a strong correlation with height (r = 0.652, p < 0.001), while foot width exhibited weaker positive correlations with age (r range 0.254–0.513) and height (r = 0.233, p < 0.001). No significant sex differences were observed (all p > 0.05). The findings highlight the progressive changes in foot dimensions with age and height and their potential applications in pediatric health, footwear design, and ergonomic planning.
