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: This study aimed to investigate whether cam and pincer deformities (CPDs) are a risk factor for patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) in women. In addition, it sought to compare the hip joint range of motion and the hip muscle strength of extremities with and without CPDs and PFPS. Materials and Methods: A total of 82 hips of 41 women with PFPS were included in the study. The mean age of participants was 32.07 ± 7.13 years. The presence of CPDs was detected on digital anterior pelvis radiographs. Pain was evaluated using the visual analog scale, and function using the Kujala scoring system. Maximum isometric muscle strength around the hips was measured using a hand-held dynamometer. Hip joint range of movement angles were measured in all three planes using a universal goniometer. Results: CPDs were found to predict PFPS in women ( Conclusion: CPDs may be a structural predisposing factor in the development of PFPS in women. CPDs assessment when evaluating predisposing factors for PFPS may present an opportunity for the management of PFPS.
