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

objectivesThis study aims to determine the relationship between the quadriceps angle (Q-angle) and tibiofemoral angle (TF-angle) among adolescents. We also compared the angles between both the lower limbs with respect to dominancy, measured the difference between athletic and non-athletic angles, and explored the variations of these features in different sports.

methodsWe recruited 150 adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years and classified them into two groups; group A (athletic group), including four subgroups of players of different sports, and group B (non-athletic group). We measured the Q-angle and TF-angle via computerized photogrammetry.

resultsThis study showed a strong and statistically significant relationship between Q-angle and TF-angle (

conclusionOur study showed a strong relationship between the Q-angle and the TF-angle. The Q-angle and the TF-angle should be measured bilaterally and the nature of sports should also be considered.
