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

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate subchondral bone turnover at rest and after acute loading using Fluorine-18-labeled sodium fluoride (Na[ Design: Twenty-seven patients with unilateral PFP were recruited from the Institute of Sports Medicine Copenhagen. Participants underwent Na[ Results: At rest, the painful knees showed lower SUV Conclusion: Patella displayed decreased bone metabolism at rest and reduced response to loading in the painful versus pain-free knees. Trochlea in the painful knees showed significantly larger increases in subchondral bone metabolism following knee loading compared to the pain-free knees. These novel findings highlight potential differences in bone turnover between the patellar and trochlear regions.
