[Physical therapy of osteoarthritis].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Physical therapy is part of guidelines and recommendations in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Different methods of physical therapy are used in osteoarthritis. There is evidence that manual physical therapy and exercise improve function and reduce pain in osteoarthritic joints. Thermal modalities are employed for short-term pain relief and change the intraarticular temperature. Electrotherapy, therapeutic ultrasound and balneotherapy show positive therapeutic effects. Based on studies and clinical experience, physical therapy must be recommended in the therapy of osteoarthritis.
