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 examine the impact of physiotherapy on various patients who underwent hybrid closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy. [Participants and Methods] Eighty-four patients were divided into three groups: non-weight-bearing, enhanced recovery after surgery, and grouping exercise. The number of hospital days, distinctions in the duration of cane-walking independence, and postoperative complications were compared among the three groups. Furthermore, the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and physical function were assessed preoperatively and at 3 and 12 months postoperatively. [Results] There were no considerable differences in postoperative complications among the three groups, and the mean hospital stay was the shortest for the grouping exercise group. At 3 months postoperatively, the grouping exercise group reported less walking pain than the enhanced recovery after surgery group. At 3 and 12 months postoperatively, the grouping exercise group showed greater mean knee extensor strength and a higher mean Japanese Orthopaedic Association score than the non-weight-bearing group. [Conclusion] Grouping exercise therapy, in addition to enhanced recovery after surgery protocol, results in shorter hospital stays, no difference in postoperative complications, and good clinical outcomes.
