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

Purpose: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a multifactorial condition that is highly prevalent among recreational runners. Poor homeostasis between load and runner's capacity is the main cause of PFP. A low-cost and community-based intervention is needed to address the rehabilitation needs of runners in under-resourced communities. The purpose of this study was to develop a community-based exercise and physical programme for runners with PFP in under-resourced communities. Method: This study used a Delphi method that included sports experts (physicians, physiotherapists, biokineticists, podiatrists, and sports therapists) who consented to participate. Delphi included three rounds of iterations to attain consensus among experts. Experts reached a consensus by rating PFP programme items using the 5-point Likert scale. Results: Ten experts participated. There were more males ( Conclusions: A consensus was reached for a suitable exercise and physical programme for runners in under-resourced communities. A follow-up implementation study is, therefore, recommended.
