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

We aimed to verify the feasibility of using shear wave elastography (SWE) to quantify knee scars and the elastic modulus of scar tissues. Overall, 16 participants underwent SWE assessments and range-of-motion measurement and completed the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score. The inter-rater reliability for SWE in the suprapatellar bursa, below the patellar tendon, and in the medial and lateral trochlear groove remained within 0.861-0.907. The SWE values in the four regions increased with increasing knee angle, and significant differences were observed between the values for below the patellar tendon and the suprapatellar bursa at knee flexion angles of 60° and 90°. The SWE values of the medial and lateral trochlear groove at 30°, 60°, and 90° knee flexion were higher on the affected side. A negative correlation was observed between the SWE values for the lateral trochlear groove at 0°, 30°, and 60° and those for below the patellar tendon at 0° and the suprapatellar bursa at 30° with both active and passive knee extension. The suprapatellar bursa value at 60° exhibited a positive correlation with both knee flexion and passive knee flexion, whereas that of the suprapatellar bursa at 90° exhibited a positive correlation with both the range of motion and passive range of motion. SWE is a replicable and effective method for detecting scar strength in the knee joint.
