Assessment of Knee Kinematics in Older Adults Using High-Speed Stereo Radiography.
Article in Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purposeQuantification of knee motion is essential for assessment of pathologic joint function, such as tracking osteoarthritis progression and evaluating outcomes after conservative or surgical treatment, including total knee arthroplasty. Our purpose was to establish a useful baseline for the kinematic envelope of knee motion in healthy older adults performing movements of daily living.
methodsA high-speed stereo radiography system was used to measure the three-dimensional tibiofemoral kinematics of eight healthy people over 55 yr of age (4 women/4 men; age, 61.7 ± 5.4 yr; body mass, 74.6 ± 7.7 kg; body mass index, 26.7 ± 4.4 kg·m; height, 168.2 ± 13.7 cm) during seated knee extension, level walking, pivoting, and step descent.
resultsInternal-external and varus-valgus rotation and anterior-posterior range of motion through stance in normal walking averaged 3.6° ± 1.1°, 2.3° ± 0.6°, and 3.4 ± 1.57 mm, respectively. Average range of motion across subjects was greater during the step-down in both internal-external rotation (average, 6.5° ± 3.1°) and anterior-posterior translation (average, 4.5 ± 1.1). Average internal-external range of motion increased to 13.5° ± 3.6° during pivoting. Range of motion of the knee in varus-valgus rotation was nearly the same for each subject across activities, rarely exceeding 6°.
conclusionsPivoting and step descending during walking had greater internal-external rotation and anterior-posterior translation than normal gait. Internal-external rotation and anterior-posterior translation were shown to have greater activity dependence, whereas varus-valgus rotation was consistent across activities. These results were similar to prior measurements in younger cohorts, though a trend toward reduced range of motion in the older adults was observed.
