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

Physical training is one of the noninvasive cornerstones of symptomatic treatment for knee osteoarthritis recognized by many medical societies; however, there are also patients who do not benefit from it or whose condition worsens. In recent years, quantitative sensory testing (QST) has come into focus as a prognostic factor for determining the best treatment method for each individual. In the present study, the pressure pain threshold and the conditioned pressure pain modulation were measured before and after an 8‑week training intervention in 72 patients (43 women, 29 men; age: 61.7 ± 8.9 years, height 172 ± 9.7 cm, weight: 93.2 ± 19.3 kg, body mass index, BMI: 31.5 + 6.2 kg × m
