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

Background: Several neuromuscular impairments may be observed in older patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), increasing the risk of falling, which is common during transfer activities. The Lie-to-Sit-to- Stand-to-Walk Transfer (LSSWT) test was developed to evaluate complex transfer abilities. The study aims to investigate the reliability and validity of LSSWT in patients with knee OA. Methods: Twenty-nine patients with knee OA were included in this study. The LSSWT, Timed up and go test (TUG), and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) were administered to the patients. Patients rested for at least an hour between the trials to avoid fatigue. Results: The LSSWT has excellent reliability and high validity in patients with knee OA. The relative (ICC coefficient) and absolute (SEM and SRD95) reliability values are 0.96 (95% CI: 0.91-0.98), 1.00, and 2,75, respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient of the LSSWT with the TUG is 0.73 ( Conclusions: The LSSWT is highly reliable and valid in knee OA and is recommended for routine dynamic balance establishment. Having a low minimal clinically important difference shows the LSSWT's sensitivity. The LSSWT can easily identify dynamic balance deficits in knee OA patients and help prevent fall incidents.
