Factors associated with balance function in patients with knee osteoarthritis: An integrative review.
Review in International journal of nursing sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This integrative review is to identify the factors associated with balance function in patients with knee osteoarthritis and explore the relationship between these factors and balance function. Osteoarthritis commonly occurs in elderly people. Patients with knee osteoarthritis have balance impairment, and maintaining knee stability is important for such patients to prevent accidental injuries caused by falling. Therefore, it is important to clarify the factors related to balance function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The PubMed, Science Direct, CINAHL, Ovid, ProQuest, CNKI, WanFang databases were searched, and relevant articles published up to December 2015 were included. Twenty articles were included in the analysis. Age, gender, dominant limb, foot length, knee alignment, diurnal variation, and meniscus tears were the non-modifiable factors, whereas body mass index, knee pain, muscle strength, joint range of motion, severity, and cognitive loading were the modifiable factors. Knee sleeve and custom-molded insoles showed protective effects against knee osteoarthritis.
