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
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the impact of visits by knee OA patients to physiotherapy clinics in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: This retrospective cohort study collected data from knee OA patients seeking treatment at a physiotherapy clinic in Makassar, Indonesia, from January to December 2021. The number of patient visits per month was compared using descriptive statistics. The treatment outcomes were measured in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) Index and analyzed using inferential statistics. Result: During the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a decrease in knee OA patient visits to physiotherapy clinics. Knee OA patient visits increased after the vaccination program was implemented, especially for patients who had been vaccinated with the full dose. Conclusion: The frequency of knee OA patient visits to physiotherapy clinics decreased during the Covid-19 pandemic. It impacted the outcome of treatment received by the patients. However, patient visits increased after the vaccination program was implemented.
