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.

Abstract

objectiveThe objective of this study was to verify the effects of resisted and proprioceptive exercises program for the treatment of patients diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). DESIGN

methodRandomized Controlled Trial - level of evidence, II.

methodsSixty female patients, clinically diagnosed with PFPS, were allocated into two experimental groups. The exercise group (ExG) underwent 6 weeks of a resisted and proprioceptive exercises for the trunk muscles, abductors and lateral hip rotators and knee extensors. The Guidance Group (GG) received educational, cognitive and behavioral guidance on healthcare. Before and after the program implementation period, all participants were evaluated in relation to the injured limb for pain assessment, subjective functionality, maximum isometric strength and 2D biomechanical analysis.

resultsAfter a six-week follow-up, ExG showed significant improvement in the Numerical Pain Rating Scale, Anterior Knee Pain Scale and Knee Outcome Survey- Activities of Daily Living Scale when compared to the control group (p ≤ 0,05). The ExG also proved superior for increased muscle strength of knee extensors, hip abductors, decreased dynamic knee valgus and pelvic drop in relation to GG (p ≤ 0.05). However, when we consider the strength of the hip lateral rotator muscles there was no difference between the two interventions (

conclusionResisted and proprioceptive exercises yielded superior results to those of a treatment focused on educational, cognitive and behavioral guidance in improving pain and lower limb function for women with PFPS.
