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

objectiveTo investigate the six degrees of freedom (6DOF) kinematics of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient knees during gait and to explore the clinical significance of a novel knee joint stability assessment system (Opti_Knee, Innomotion, Shanghai, China) in comparison with imaging and arthroscopic examination.

methodsThree subjects diagnosed with ACL deficient knees on the basis of preoperative MRI and CT findings were subjected to treadmill gait analysis. Motion of both knees in 6DOF was measured and analyzed with an optical joint kinematics measurement system. Arthroscopic examination, the gold standard, was performed to confirm the final diagnosis and the clinical diagnosis of ACL deficiency by imaging and motion marker techniques compared with this gold standard.

resultsOnly two of the three subjects diagnosed with ACL deficiency by imaging techniques were later confirmed to have this condition by arthroscopic examination; the third was found to have an intact ACL. When the kinematics of their injured and contralateral knees were compared, abnormalities were found in the two subjects confirmed by arthroscopy to be ACL deficient However, no kinematic difference between the two knees was found in the ACL intact subject.

conclusionsOpti_Knee (Innomotion) can detect abnormal kinematics in ACL deficient knees and thus provides an effective way of assisting the diagnosis of this condition and has potential for clinical application.
