Coronal lumbar horizontal shift and lower limb force line in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a correlation study.
Review in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the correlation between the horizontal deviation of the coronal lumbar spine and the lower limb force line in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods: A retrospective analysis of 233 KOA cases (47 male patients and 186 female patients, aged 50-83 years, with an average of 61.55 ± 8.72 years) admitted from 1 October 2022 to 31 December 2023 was conducted. Bilateral hip, knee, and ankle (HKA) angles; mechanical axis offset distance (MAD); joint line convergence angle (JLCA); lumbar-knee offset distance (LKOD, a self-tested angle reflecting the difference in the position of the bilateral knee joint relative to the lumbar vertebra); Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score; and baseline data records were assessed for all patients. Results: The WOMAC score was correlated with L1, L2, and L3 in LKOD ( Conclusion: Lumbar horizontal deviation is a risk factor affecting all angles in both lower limbs and may aggravate knee bone and joint symptoms. The influence of horizontal direction changes in the lumbar spine on KOA, especially change in L3, should be prioritized in the clinical treatment and research of KOA.
