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 compare the effectiveness of an educational approach between adolescents and adults with patellofemoral pain syndrome. [Participants and Methods] The PROSPERO protocol number is CRD42022362680. Four databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane) were searched. Randomized control trials on the effectiveness of the educational approach for patellofemoral pain syndrome were compared between adolescents and adults. Two investigators independently screened eligible studies. Two randomized control trials proceeded through meta-analysis with a visual analogue scale in the mid-term (from 18 weeks to 6 months). [Results] The meta-analysis results indicated that no significant difference was observed between education and combined education with exercise. A tendency to improve in the intervention of combined education with exercise for adolescents was noted, whereas no effect of education for adults was observed. [Conclusion] Treatment strategies combining education with exercise for patellofemoral pain syndrome may differ between adolescents and adults.
