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

objectiveAbnormal joint movement is associated with osteoarthritis (OA). Previous studies using the controlling abnormal joint movement (CAJM) model of OA reported delayed cartilage degeneration; however, none of them focused on gait performance and the localization of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in chondrocytes. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of controlling abnormal joint movement on gait performance and the localization of MMP13 and TIMP-1, using kinematic and histological analyses.

designRats were assigned to 2 groups: anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACL-T) group and CAJM group (

resultsStep length did not differ significantly between the groups. However, degeneration of articular cartilage was higher in the ACL-T group than in the intact group (

conclusionsControlling abnormal joint movement may reduce mechanical stress owing to kinematic elements of small articulation including joint instability and delayed cartilage degeneration, despite the lack of kinematic change in step length.
