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

Background: Increased knee flexion is required for deep squatting in the daily life of the non-western population as well as in many sports activities. The purpose of this study was to estimate as well as to compare knee joint contact forces during heel contact (HC) and heel rise (HR) deep squatting in 10 healthy young Indian participants. Materials and Methods: Kinematic data were captured using a 12-camera Motion Analysis system. Kinetic data were collected using two Kistler force plates. EMG of 6 lower limb muscles was monitored by Noraxon wireless EMG. OpenSim musculoskeletal model was customized to increase the maximum knee flexion capability of the existing model and knee joint contact forces were estimated. Results: A significant difference in tibiofemoral ( Conclusion: The findings can provide implications for physiotherapists to design rehabilitation exercise protocols, exercise professionals, and the development of high flexion knee implants. Graphical Abstract: Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43465-022-00798-y.
