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

Chronic overloading of the cartilage can lead to its irreversible destruction, as observed in people with osteoarthritis. The floating skeleton model previously introduced postulates that overloading begins and progresses when a joint is isolated from the hydrostatical connection with other joints. Such a connection occurs via the interstitial fluid in subperiosteal space and allows for pressure transmission between synovial capsules modulating intra-articular pressure. In the current study, a simple experiment was performed to model an obstruction in the subperiosteal hydrostatic pressure conductivity between joints to illustrate the effect of that obstruction on loads borne by the joint. When the obstruction was removed, the load experienced by the joint was reduced as it was redistributed throughout the model structure. The experiment demonstrated that contact pressures can be redistributed when the conditions of Pascal's Law are met.
