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
The relationship between patellofemoral cartilage morphology and knee external rotation (KER), one of the possible factors increasing patellar cartilage stress, has been rarely explored in individuals with and without patellofemoral pain (PFP). Ten individuals with PFP and 10 pain-free controls, matched for age, weight, height, and activity level, participated. Patellar cartilage morphology was assessed using 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging. Lower extremity kinematics during bilateral squatting at 45° of knee flexion were captured using a 3-dimensional motion capture system. Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients were used to assess the associations between cartilage thickness (medial, lateral, and total) and peak KER, along with other peak joint angles across the three planes. Across all participants, there were significantly moderate correlations between medial cartilage thickness and KER (
