Overweight and obesity in young adults with patellofemoral pain: Impact on functional capacity and strength.
Article in Journal of sport and health science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeThis study aimed to (a) investigate the proportion of overweight/obesity in a cohort of young adults with patellofemoral pain (PFP) and (b) explore the association of body mass index (BMI), body fat, and lean mass with functional capacity and hip and knee strength in people with PFP.
methodsWe included a mixed-sex sample of young adults (18-35 years old) with PFP (n = 100). Measurements for BMI, percentage of body fat, and lean mass (assessed by bioelectrical impedance) were obtained. Functional capacity was assessed by the Anterior Knee Pain Scale, plank test, and single-leg hop test. Strength of the knee extensors, knee flexors, and hip abductors was evaluated isometrically using an isokinetic dynamometer. The proportion of overweight/obesity was calculated based on BMI. The association between BMI, body fat, and lean mass and functional capacity and strength was investigated using partial correlations, followed by hierarchical regression analysis, adjusted for covariates (sex, bilateral pain, and current pain level).
resultsA total of 38% of our cohort had their BMI categorized as overweight/obese. Higher BMI was associated with poor functional capacity (ΔR
conclusionBMI, body fat, and lean mass should be considered in the assessment and management of young people with PFP because it may be detrimental to function and strength.
