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

purposeTo determine the beneficial effects of knee extension exercise applied from 4 h after TKA.

methodsPatients undergoing TKA for osteoarthritis were assigned to early rehabilitation (n = 41) and control rehabilitation (n = 39) groups. Rehabilitation of knee extension exercise was started within 4 h postoperative in the early group and 2 days after surgery in the control group. Joint range of motion and pain were assessed before surgery and at 3 days to 12 months after surgery. Muscle strength and gait parameters were assessed before and 3 weeks after surgery.

resultsExtension range of motion was significantly increased in the early group than the control at 3 days, 3 weeks and 6 months after surgery. In gait parameters, peak knee flexion and extension angles during stance phase were significantly improved in the early group than the control group at 3 weeks after surgery. Flexion range of motion was increased in the early group than the control at 12 months after surgery.

conclusionStarting knee extension exercise within 4 h after TKA reduced the early loss of extension range of motion and improved gait pattern and seemed to contribute to be better functional outcome one year after surgery.
