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

This study aimed to investigate the effect of heel height on patellofemoral joint stress (PFJS) in young women during stair descent. A total of 25 healthy females were recruited. They were instructed to descend a six-step staircase while wearing heeled shoes of different heel heights: flat heel (1 cm), low heel (3 cm), medium heel (5 cm), and high heel (7 cm). Then, PFJS was calculated using kinematic and kinetic data obtained from a biomechanical model of the patellofemoral joint. Compared with the flat heel condition, the high, medium, and low heel conditions resulted in significant increases in peak PFJS (P
