Articular cartilage and meniscus reveal higher friction in swing phase than in stance phase under dynamic gait conditions.

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
Most previous studies investigated the remarkably low and complex friction properties of meniscus and cartilage under constant loading and motion conditions. However, both load and relative velocity within the knee joint vary considerably during physiological activities. Hence, the question arises how friction of both tissues is affected by physiological testing conditions occurring during gait. As friction properties are of major importance for meniscal replacement devices, the influence of these simulated physiological testing conditions was additionally tested for a potential meniscal implant biomaterial. Using a dynamic friction testing device, three different friction tests were conducted to investigate the influence of either just varying the motion conditions or the normal load and also to replicate the physiological gait conditions. It could be shown for the first time that the friction coefficient during swing phase was statistically higher than during stance phase when varying both loading and motion conditions according to the physiological gait pattern. Further, the friction properties of the exemplary biomaterial were also higher, when tested under dynamic gait parameters compared to static conditions, which may suggest that static conditions can underestimate the friction coefficient rather than reflecting the in vivo performance.
