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
We aimed to investigate the effects of short-term corticosteroid administration after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction on marrow adipose tissue (MAT) and trabecular bone mass, as well as to examine whether treadmill exercise can mitigate MAT increase and trabecular bone deterioration caused by corticosteroid. ACL-reconstructed rats were divided into groups: no intervention, daily treadmill exercise (60 min/day), administration of the steroidal drug dexamethasone (250 μg/kg on days 0-5, 7, and 9 post-operatively), or dexamethasone administration combined with treadmill exercise. Untreated rats were served as controls. At day 10 or 30 post-operatively, histological assessments were performed in the proximal tibial epiphysis. MAT accumulation and trabecular bone loss were observed after ACL reconstruction. Dexamethasone promoted MAT accumulation at day 10 post-operatively but did not affect the trabecular bone loss. The MAT accumulation caused by dexamethasone reversed within 21 days after discontinuation. Treadmill exercise did not influence the changes in the MAT and trabecular bone areas. Short-term corticosteroid administration after ACL reconstruction promoted MAT accumulation while not affecting trabecular bone area. The MAT accumulation resulting from corticosteroid administration was reversible after discontinuation. Treadmill exercise could not mitigate the accumulation of MAT caused by corticosteroid administration and did not affect trabecular bone area.
