Biomechanical mechanisms behind the reduction of knee adduction moment in medial knee thrust gait.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common OA subtype, and its progression has been strongly linked to increased knee adduction moment (KAM). Among various gait modification strategies, medial knee-thrust gait has emerged to be promising to attenuate KAM. This study aimed to clarify the biomechanical mechanism through which knee-thrust gait reduces KAM. Fourteen healthy young adults were recruited as a first step to understanding the mechanism. KAM was reduced by 21% in the first peak and 36% in the second peak during the knee-thrust gait compared to the normal gait. Stepwise multiple regression indicated that the moment arm (MA) was the primary contributor to both KAM peaks (adj. R
