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

introductionThis study aimed to examine the interaction effect between ambulatory physical activity (PA) and varus thrust on knee pain in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

methodSubjects (n = 207; mean age: 73.1 years, 71.5% women) in orthopedic clinics with diagnosed knee OA (Kellgren/Lawrence grade ≥ 1) were enrolled in this 12-month observational cohort study. Participants underwent gait observation for varus thrust assessment and pedometer-based ambulatory PA measurements at baseline and 12-month follow-up. Knee pain intensity was assessed using the Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure pain subscale as a primary outcome measure. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to evaluate ambulatory PA-thrust interaction on knee pain intensity.

resultsNinety-two subjects (mean age, 73.4 years; 68.5% women) completed the 12-month follow-up assessment. Baseline ambulatory PA-thrust interaction was significant (P = 0.017) in the cross-sectional analysis, adjusting for covariates, which yielded R

conclusionsAmbulatory PA interacted with varus thrust in the association with knee pain, as coexisting high ambulatory PA and varus thrust had the strongest association with higher knee pain. Maximal pain relief effects might be achieved when both ambulatory PA and varus thrust are treated simultaneously, rather than treating each separately.
