Formation process of extension knee joint contracture following external immobilization in rats.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
backgroundCurrent research lacks a model of knee extension contracture in rats.
aimTo elucidate the formation process of knee extension contracture.
methodsWe developed a rat model using an aluminum external fixator. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats with mature bones were divided into the control group (
resultsMyogenic contracture progressed very quickly during the initial 2 wk of immobilization. After 2 wk, the contracture gradually changed from myogenic to arthrogenic. The arthrogenic contracture progressed slowly during the 1
conclusionThis rat model may be a useful tool to study the etiology of joint contracture and establish therapeutic approaches.
