Gait cycle time variability in patients with knee osteoarthritis and its possible associating factors.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
[Purpose] Knee osteoarthritis can alter gait variability; however, few studies have investigated the associating factors with gait cycle time variability. The first objective was to compare gait cycle variability between female patients with knee osteoarthritis and healthy elderly females and to determine gait characteristics in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The second objective was to identify the associating factors with gait cycle time variability. [Participants and Methods] The participants included 24 female patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and 12 healthy elderly females. Gait cycle variability (coefficient of variation of gait cycle time), knee extension range of motion, knee extension strength, 5-m walk test, Timed Up & Go Test, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index were measured. All assessment results were compared between the knee osteoarthritis and healthy groups. [Results] Gait cycle time variability was significantly higher in the knee osteoarthritis group than in the healthy group. Further, it showed a significant positive correlation with the 5-m walk test and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index. [Conclusion] Patients with knee osteoarthritis presented greater gait cycle variability than that of healthy individuals. Therefore, rehabilitation to improve gait variability might enhance the quality of life of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
