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

objectivesWe aimed to investigate the relationship between self-reported lower extremity function, fear of movement, and quadriceps, hamstring, and hip stabilizer muscle strength in women with patellofemoral pain.

methodsFifty-four women (age: 32.59±7.00) were included in the study. We assessed self-reported function with the Lower Extremity Functional Scale and fear of movement with the Tampa Scale for kinesiophobia. The strength of the quadriceps, hamstring, and hip stabilizer muscles was determined with a hand-held dynamometer. Relationships between variables were examined using Pearson correlation analysis and binary logistic regression analysis.

resultsSelf-reported function showed a moderate positive correlation with hip stabilizer muscle strength (r=0.408, p=0.002) and negative correlation with fear of movement (r=-0.500, p<0.01).

conclusionThe results of this study suggest that fear of movement and hip stabilizer muscle strength are factors associated with self-reported lower extremity function in women with patellofemoral pain.
