Exploring the Potential of Lateral Wedge Insoles in Alleviating Bone Marrow Lesions in End-Stage Knee Osteoarthritis: A Preliminary Case Report.

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
The efficacy of lateral wedge insoles (LWIs) in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA) is unclear. A 43-year-old male underwent two anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions in his right knee and was later diagnosed with end-stage knee OA. An LWI combining arch support with a lateral heel wedge was fabricated for this patient and used over 12 months. As a result, after 12 months, the bone marrow lesion (BML), as measured by the magnetic resonance imaging Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS), was downgraded from grade 2 to grade 1. The use of LWI in a patient with end-stage knee OA showed lower co-contraction ratios in knee muscles even after 12 months. The results provide preliminary evidence suggesting the use of LWI in patients with end-stage knee OA has potential benefits for reducing BML.
