Factors related to standing balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Article in Annals of rehabilitation medicine, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo assess factors related to standing balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
methodsIn total, 37 female patients with painful knee OA were included. Pain, knee alignment, and Kellgren and Lawrence grade were evaluated accordingly. Static standing balance was measured with a force-platform system under two different conditions: static standing with eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) for 30 seconds. The mean speed (mm/s) of movement of the center of pressure in the anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral directions and the mean velocity moment (mm(2)/s) were analyzed for assessment of static balance.
resultsIn the univariate regression analysis, age and knee alignment showed statistically significant relationships with the mean speed in the AP directions with EO. In the multiple linear regression model, age and knee alignment were positively associated and disease severity was negatively associated with mean speed in the AP directions with EO. However, the variables for EC static measurements were not significantly correlated with age, pain, knee alignment, or radiographic severity (p>0.05).
conclusionThese findings show that the worse balance was associated with advanced age, less varus knee malalignment, and mild radiographic changes. Pain was not associated with standing balance.
