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

Plantar pressure and foot load distribution are essential parameters in evaluating postural alignment, neuromuscular balance, and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. This cross-sectional study analyzed static plantar pressure in 113 healthy young adults (18-35 years) using the Spine 3D Sensor Medica platform. Contact area, load, average pressure, and maximum peak pressure were measured bilaterally in forefoot and hindfoot regions. Strong correlations were found between body weight, BMI, and plantar load, particularly in the hindfoot, while peak pressures were influenced more by individual biomechanical factors than anthropometry. Women demonstrated greater inter-limb asymmetries compared to men. These findings provide reference values for static plantar pressure and highlight their importance for clinical musculoskeletal rehabilitation. By identifying early postural imbalances and abnormal load distributions, baropodometric assessments can guide targeted interventions, improve pain management, and optimize functional recovery. The study supports incorporating advanced plantar pressure analysis in personalized rehabilitation programs for preventing and managing musculoskeletal dysfunctions.
