The interventional effects of PNF training on functional ankle instability in habitually active adults.
Trial report in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06308809 (Effect of PNF Training as an Intervention for Functional Ankle Instability in College Student), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Functional ankle instability (FAI) is common among habitually active adults and may lead to recurrent sprains, reduced athletic performance, and long-term joint dysfunction. This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) training with strength-plus-balance training in habitually active adults with FAI. A total of 68 habitually active adults with FAI were randomly assigned to either a PNF training group or a strength-plus-balance training group, both undergoing an 8-week rehabilitation program. Outcome measures were assessed before and after the intervention and included the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), lower limb stability tests, Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), and ankle muscle strength assessments. After 8 weeks, a significant group × time interaction was observed for CAIT scores ( Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, registration number: NCT06308809.
