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

Purpose: Toe grip strength is used to evaluate toe muscle strength associated with dynamic and static balance ability. Although maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) has been widely measured as an outcome of toe grip strength, recent recommendations evaluate not only MVC but also the rate of force development (RFD), an index of instantaneous muscle strength exertion. The RFD, which measures the gradient of muscle strength change at regular time intervals following muscle exertion, is crucial for responding to the unexpected centre of pressure sway. In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between balance ability and the RFD of toe grip strength. Methods: A total of 23 healthy young men and 24 healthy young women (mean age, 20.5 years) participants were recruited. Their balance was measured by dividing the total trajectory length (mm) by the rectangular area (mm Results: A significant negative correlation was observed between the RFD of toe grip strength and the rectangular area of the centre of pressure in the male group (-0.57 ​at RFD50, Conclusion: The RFD of the toe flexor strength may play a significant role in maintaining postural stability during one-leg standing in healthy young men.
