Footwear Effects on Postural Stability Are Greater During Unilateral than Bilateral Squat-Based Strength Training Exercises.

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
Footwear may influence postural stability during resistance training, but its effects during bilateral and unilateral squat-based exercises remain poorly understood. This study analyzed the effects of conventional sports footwear on center of pressure (CoP) behavior and vertical ground reaction forces during the barbell back squat and barbell split squat. Eight resistance-trained men completed two sessions. After load determination and familiarization, participants performed both exercises under shod and unshod conditions using a wireless dual force plate system. CoP displacement, CoP velocity, vertical ground reaction forces, and inter-limb vertical force asymmetry were analyzed using a two-way repeated-measures ANOVA. Footwear and exercise type showed moderate or large effects on all analyzed variables, while the footwear × exercise interaction showed moderate or large effects on 12 of 16 variables. CoP displacement and velocity were generally higher under shod than unshod conditions, with moderate to large footwear effects (η
