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
introductionKnee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic degenerative condition characterized by joint space narrowing (JSN), pain, and functional limitations, affecting a significant portion of the population in India. Radiographic evaluation (standing anteroposterior (AP) view - standard technique) is crucial for diagnosing and grading KOA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Rosenberg posteroanterior (PA) view compared to the standard anteroposterior (AP) view in grading KOA and to estimate the correlation between joint space width (JSW), radiographic grading, and the Oxford knee score (OKS). MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 384 knees (192 patients) aged 40 years and above, presenting with knee pain, were included in this cross-sectional study. Radiographs of the standing AP and Rosenberg views were taken, and the medial and lateral tibiofemoral JSW were measured digitally on calibrated images. KOA was graded using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) classification. Statistical analysis included Spearman's rho correlation coefficient, with significance set at p<0.05.
resultsThe mean medial JSW was 3.91±0.89 mm in the AP view and 3.52±1.02 mm in the Rosenberg view, with a strong correlation (p<0.0001). The mean lateral JSW was similar between views (5.88±0.47 mm in AP and 5.89±0.43 mm in Rosenberg), showing moderate correlation (p<0.0001). The Rosenberg view identified more severe KOA grades, with 41.9% of patients classified as IKDC Grade 3 or higher, compared to 27.6% in the AP view. Additionally, 18.2% of patients were reclassified to a more severe grade in the Rosenberg view, indicating its superior sensitivity in detecting early disease progression.
conclusionThe Rosenberg view is more effective in detecting early and severe KOA, providing a more accurate assessment of disease severity for improved management.
