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

Arthrofibrosis is defined as an excessive fibrotic tissue response within a joint leading to a painful loss of motion. This pathological scar formation process with dysregulated, inordinate extracellular matrix formation, especially collagen, may occur in any joints, although is frequently localized in the knee. Different etiologies have been described and most of them are related to trauma, infection or recent surgical procedure. Although arthrofibrosis affects people of all ages, it is unusual in pediatric population. We present a case report of an uncommon, foreign body induced knee arthrofibrosis in a 14-year old boy. We also review the current literature regarding diagnostic procedures and treatment rationale for arthrofibrosis of the knee.
