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
Background: Existing literature provides inconclusive evidence regarding the impact of pain on movement patterns, especially in medial meniscus injuries. This study investigated how pain induced by medial meniscus injuries affects walking movement patterns, focusing on the biomechanical mechanisms. The goal was to develop targeted rehabilitation. Methods: Thirty control participants (15 male, 15 female), 23 individuals with medial meniscus injury but no pain (11 male, 12 female), and 51 individuals with medial meniscus injury and pain (24 male, 27 female) were recruited. Gait data was collected using eight inertial measurement units and a video camera. Pain characteristics were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and pain duration score. Statistical analyses were conducted using a one-way ANOVA to compare movement patterns among the three groups. Bivariate correlation analyses were performed within the pain group to examine the relationship between pain characteristics and movement patterns. The Results: (1) ANOVA among the groups revealed significant differences ( Conclusion: Medial meniscus injury-induced pain has several adverse effects, including prolonged walking swing periods, reduced angulation, and increased variability while positively influencing coordination and shock attenuation. Pain intensity, kinesiophobia, and pain freedom contribute to these changes. Therapists should focus on pain management and movement pattern retraining to develop personalized rehabilitation. The angle of the swing phase should be emphasized during retraining. Clinical Trial Registration: https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=65961, identifier ChiCTR2000041087.
