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

The risk of falls increases with age, particularly in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). We aimed to investigate the relationships of fall history and spatiotemporal parameters in patients with hip and knee OA. This cross-sectional study included 51 patients with hip or knee OA. Fall history over the past year was recorded, and the centre of pressure (COP) parameters of gait and standing were assessed using the FDM-T treadmill. Comparisons were made between the fall and non-fall groups. Compared with the non-fall group, the fall group exhibited significant posterior displacement of the COP intersection during gait (p = 0.001). In hip OA patients, significant age, anterior‒posterior symmetry, and variability differences were observed. In knee OA patients, anterior‒posterior symmetry and lateral variability showed significant between-group differences. This study revealed a significant association between posterior COP displacement during gait and fall history. This parameter may serve as a novel fall indicator. Further prospective studies are needed to determine its predictive value for fall prevention.
