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

objectiveTo analyze the effectiveness of a modified knee joint functional exercise method combined with a goniometer in patients after joint replacement.

methodsSixty patients who underwent orthopedic knee replacement were divided into two groups: a control group (n = 30, conventional intervention) and an intervention group (n = 30, modified knee functional exercise method combined with a goniometer). Postoperative knee function (Knee Society Score, KSS), compliance with functional exercises, and quality of life were evaluated and compared between the two groups.

resultsBefore the intervention, as well as two days post-operation and on the day of discharge, there were no significant differences in KSS scores between the two groups. However, at 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post-operation, the intervention group showed significantly higher KSS scores compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The compliance rate of knee joint function exercise in the intervention group was significantly higher (P<0.05). After intervention, the PF, GH, VT, and MH dimensions of quality-of-life scores in the intervention group were higher than those before intervention and higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).

conclusionThe modified knee functional exercise method combined with an goniometer effectively improves knee function, enhances training compliance, and improves the quality of life in patients following joint replacement.
