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

Purpose: People who suffer from knee osteoarthritis (KOA) face reduced balance, which causes increased falling and many serious complications and injuries. The purpose of the extant study was to determine the effect of proximal exercises of lower extremity on static balance parameters during quiet standing. Materials and Methods: In the present randomized controlled trial, 36 patients were divided into intervention and control groups ( Results: Intergroup comparison indicated significant progress of pain intensity, anterior-posterior (AP), and Overall balance stability in both studied groups ( Conclusion: Adding proximal exercises to physiotherapy had more effect on ML balance stability in KOA patients; however, 6 weeks of these exercises in addition to physiotherapy had also the same effect on pain intensity, Overall, and AP balance stability.
