Effects of the Competitive Season and Off-Season on Knee Articular Cartilage in Collegiate Basketball Players Using Quantitative MRI: A Multicenter Study.
Article in Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundInjuries to the articular cartilage in the knee are common in jumping athletes, particularly high-level basketball players. Unfortunately, these are often diagnosed at a late stage of the disease process, after tissue loss has already occurred. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: To evaluate longitudinal changes in knee articular cartilage and knee function in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball players and their evolution over the competitive season and off-season. STUDY TYPE: Longitudinal, multisite cohort study. POPULATION: Thirty-two NCAA Division 1 athletes: 22 basketball players and 10 swimmers. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: Bilateral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using a combined T ASSESSMENT: We calculated T STATISTICAL TESTS: One-way variance model hypothesis test, general linear model, and chi-squared test.
resultsIn the femoral articular cartilage of all athletes, we saw a global decrease in T
conclusionOur results indicate that T LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2 Technical Efficacy Stage: 2.
