Supinated Foot Posture Is Associated With Reduced Knee and Foot Function in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveThis study investigated the difference in lower limb function between supinated and neutral foot postures in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) scheduled for total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
methodsThis study included 62 female patients with KOA knees. Patients were classified into the neutral foot posture group (n = 33 (53%)) and the supinated foot posture group (n = 29 (47%)) using the Foot Posture Index-6 (FPI-6). Femorotibial angle (FTA), knee flexion range of motion (ROM), ankle dorsiflexion ROM, knee extension strength, toe grip strength (TGS), Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test, and knee pain were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe supinated foot posture group had significantly lower knee flexion ROM, ankle dorsiflexion ROM, knee extension strength, TGS, and larger FTA than those in the neutral foot posture group. However, no significant differences were observed in TUG or knee pain.
conclusionKOA patients with supinated feet have reduced lower limb strength and ROM, suggesting that incorporating foot alignment assessment into KOA rehabilitation is important. However, long-term studies are needed to clarify causal relationships.
