1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 purpose is to explore the effects of Exercise rehabilitation (ER) on bone mineral density (BMD) of the knee, muscle strength (MS), and physical function (PF) after ACL rupture. Finally, A total of 58 patients were randomized into 2 groups (Control Group [CON]: conventional treatment, male ​= ​16, female ​= ​13, age ​= ​[31.63 ​± ​8.01] years; Exercise rehabilitation group [ER]: 6-week ER on CON basis, male ​= ​17, female ​= ​12, age ​= ​[31.26 ​± ​7.07] years). At baseline and 6 weeks, the knee BMD was measured using DEXA, MS and PF measures were recorded by isokinetic strength test, IKDC, Lysholm, and VAS score. T-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Mann-Whitney tests were used for comparisons. The BMD outcomes: after a 6-week period, the BMD of the CON ([1.47 ​± ​0.24] g·cm
