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
objectiveBoth idiopathic scoliosis and hallux valgus are common in females, with risk factors including joint hypermobility, age, gender, hormonal factors, and family history. The aim of this study was to examine the frequency of co-occurrence of scoliosis and hallux valgus and the severity of these 2 conditions.
methodsEvaluation was made of 497 females who female police candidates presented at the hospital to obtain a health report between January 1, 2023, and June 1, 2023 and met the study criteria. Cobb, kyphosis, hallux valgus, and intermetatarsal angles were measured from radiographs, and the data of height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) were recorded.
resultsOf the 497 participants, scoliosis was observed in 22.3% and hallux valgus in 74.8%. The rate of hallux valgus was found to be significantly higher in the group with scoliosis than in the group without (P < .001). Individuals with scoliosis had approximately 3 times higher odds of having hallux valgus compared to those without scoliosis (OR: 3.08; 95% CI: 1.66-5.72; P < .05). When the groups with and without scoliosis were compared, the females with scoliosis were determined to be significantly younger (P=.007). No significant difference was seen between scoliosis and height (P=.766). The weight and BMI values of the females with scoliosis were found to be significantly lower compared to those without (P < .05).
conclusionThe study results showed that hallux valgus was determined in 88.3% of the females with scoliosis, which was significantly higher than the rate of 71% in those without (P < .001). No difference was seen between the scoliosis apex orientation and the hallux valgus side (P=.511), thus showing similar orientations of the scoliosis apex and hallux valgus side. There is a need for further studies to examine possible etiological causes in more detail. Cite this article as: Sabır MA, Kayıkçı K, Taşkin R, Uğur F, Topal M, Çiftdemir M.
