Patellofemoral joint forces during running are not different between adolescents with and without patellofemoral pain-a cross-sectional study.

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
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine if adolescents (aged 12-18 years) with patellofemoral pain demonstrate greater peak and cumulative patellofemoral joint forces when compared to asymptomatic adolescents during running. Methods: Twenty-six adolescents with patellofemoral pain (14 male, 12 female, mean Results: Peak patellofemoral joint force [MD = -0.22 (-0.33, 0.77) N/kg] and cumulative patellofemoral joint force [MD = -6.26 (-37.47, 50.00) Bw.s/km] were not different between adolescents with patellofemoral pain and asymptomatic adolescents. Peak knee flexion [MD = 0.19 (-2.72, 2.33) deg] and knee extension moment [MD = -0.11 (-0.07, 0.29) Nm/kg] were also not different between groups. Discussion: Greater patellofemoral joint forces during running are not evident in adolescents with patellofemoral pain when compared to asymptomatic adolescents.
