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

backgroundExercise therapy is considered preferential treatment for patellar tendinopathy (PT). However, there is conflicting evidence for structural patellar tendon adaptation in response to exercise therapy and its association with symptoms is weak. PURPOSE: To assess the association between 1) T STUDY TYPE: Randomized controlled clinical trial. SUBJECTS: Seventy-six athletes (18-35 years) with clinically diagnosed and ultrasound-confirmed PT. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3D gradient echo sequence (3.0 T). ASSESSMENT: Patients were enrolled in a randomized trial of progressive tendon-loading exercises (PTLE) versus eccentric exercise therapy (EET). Symptoms were assessed using the Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment (VISA-P) questionnaire. 3D-Ultrashort echo time (UTE)-MRI was acquired at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks. Voxel-wise T STATISTICAL TESTS: Adjusted general linear, mixed-linear models, and generalized estimating equations.

resultsWe included 76 patients with PT (58 men, mean age 24 ± 4 years); 38 in the PTLE-group and 38 in the EET-group, of which 57 subjects remained eligible for analysis. T DATA
