Comprehensive Management of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome in a Recreational Long-Distance Runner: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a major concern in the field of orthopedic medicine, affecting a substantial portion of the population and significantly impacting the quality of life. This condition, characterized by anterior knee pain increasing with various activities, shows higher susceptibility in certain demographic groups, such as women and adolescents. PFPS arises from a multifactorial etiology involving anatomical, biomechanical, psychological, and social factors, making it a complex condition to manage. Despite numerous therapeutic interventions available, including strengthening exercises, manual therapy, and patellar realignment techniques, the long-term efficacy of these interventions remains debated. This case report describes the case of a 21-year-old female recreational long-distance runner with bilateral knee pain diagnosed with PFPS. Through a comprehensive intervention plan targeting strength, function, flexibility, proprioception, and pain management, significant improvements were observed in pain levels and functional outcomes after physiotherapy intervention. This case underscores the importance of a holistic approach in managing PFPS and highlights the need for further research to optimize treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes.
