Fear of Movement and Associated Factors Among Adults With Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis.
Trial report in Arthritis care & research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03875040 (Is There a Relationship Between Kinesiophobia and Physical Activity Level in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis?), which is not on this map. Cited by 39 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo examine the frequency of and factors associated with fear of movement (FOM) among patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (KOA), using the new Brief Fear of Movement (BFOM) measure.
methodsParticipants (n = 350) enrolled in a clinical trial completed the BFOM scale prior to randomization. The relationships of BFOM with the following characteristics were examined: age, sex, race, education, pain and activities of daily living (ADL) subscales of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), knee symptom duration, depressive symptoms (8-item Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-8]), history of falls and knee injury, family history of knee problems, self-efficacy for exercise (SEE), and unilateral balance test. A proportional odds logistic regression model examined multivariable associations of participant characteristics with a 3-level BFOM variable (agreement with 0, 1-2, or ≥3 items).
resultsThe majority of participants (77%) agreed with at least 1 item on the BFOM scale, and 36% endorsed 3+ items, suggesting a high degree of FOM. In the multivariable model, the following remained significant after backward selection: age (odds ratio [OR] 0.79 per 10-point increase, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.66-0.95), KOOS ADL (OR 0.86 per 10-point increase, 95% CI 0.76-0.97), PHQ-8 (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.08-1.22), and SEE (OR 0.87 per 10-point increase, 95% CI 0.78-0.96).
conclusionFOM was common among patients with symptomatic KOA, and this could negatively impact physical activity. Psychological variables were significantly associated with FOM, suggesting behavioral and psychological interventions may decrease FOM and improve outcomes among individuals with symptomatic KOA.
