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

Climbing with extreme finger positions is a risk factor for osteoarthritic changes. Our initial study revealed a large variation in PIP joint flexion, especially in older climbers. This study compares finger joint motion between age groups and examines relations to degenerative changes. Nine young (~33.9 years) and 11 old (~55.8 years) participants climbed a defined boulder problem in four grip positions: crimp, half-crimp, open-hand and participant-selected grip. Finger and wrist kinematics were recorded by an optical motion capture system, contact forces were measured using four instrumented holds, osteophytes were assessed using ultrasound and maximal finger strength was measured separately. Older climbers demonstrated significantly (
