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
objectiveTo explore the intervention effect of foot and ankle training combined with plantar fascia stress training on postoperative heel fracture patients.
methodsSeventy-eight patients with heel fracture who underwent surgical treatment in the orthopedic inpatient department of a hospital from February 2020 to October 2020 were selected as the study subjects, and a randomized controlled trial was conducted with postoperative follow-up. These patients were randomly grouped to obtain the control group (Group D) and the intervention group (Group G), which had the same number of cases, 39 cases. Group D only underwent routine ankle training, including dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, and internal and external rotation exercises of the ankle joint. On the basis of group D, group G added plantar fascia stress training, and used foam rollers and solid rubber balls as auxiliary tools for plantar rolling exercises, 3 groups a day, 50 times in each group. And during the intervals of rolling exercises, combine traditional Chinese medicine massage and acupoint pressing, maintain for about 30 s each time, and repeat 2-3 times.
resultsAt the end of the experiment, unlike patients in group D, patients in group G had higher Maryland foot scores, lower swelling values, lower visual analog pain scores, lower probability of complications (P < 0.05), higher vitality scores, shorter time to incision healing, shorter time to fracture healing, higher percentage of the healthy support phase to the total cycle of the healthy gait, higher treatment compliance scores, and higher overall effective rate was higher (P < 0.001). The total effective rate in group G was 97.44%.
conclusionBy means of foot and ankle training combined with plantar fascia stress training, it can effectively alleviate the pain of patients with heel fracture and exercise the function of the ankle joint.
