THE EFFECTS OF INTRAARTICULAR AND PERIARTICULAR KNEE PAIN MANAGEMENT ON THE REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS AFTER CEPHALOMEDULLARY FIXATION OF PERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES.

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 gold standard for pertrochanteric fractures is closed reduction with traction and intramedullary osteosynthesis. A significant number of patients report knee pain after surgery, which could be associated with gonarthrosis and traction. In this research we wanted to determine if managing knee pain affects the rehabilitation of patients. There were three groups: the first group received a post-operative intra-articular (IA) injection containing methylprednisolone with lidocaine; the second group received the same combination periarticularly (PA); and the control group did not receive any form of injection. We measured the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score on the 3rd and 12th postoperative days, as well as six weeks after surgery. We measured knee range of motion (ROM) on the 12th postoperative day and six weeks after surgery. We calculated the Harris Hip Score (HHS) on the 3rd day and six weeks postoperatively. There were 27 patients. Preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence and VAS pain scores were similar. The IA group demonstrated the lowest VAS pain score after six weeks. ROM did not improve between groups on the 12th day and six weeks postoperatively. HHS was best in the IA group after 6 weeks. Injection of methylprednisolone with lidocaine into the knee improved postoperative rehabilitation in patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing ipsilateral cephalomedullary fixation for a pertrochanteric fracture.
