Trial report in Cartilage, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06721897 (Effectiveness of a Prehabilitation Program on Clinical, Functional and Psychological Variables in Candidates for Hip or Knee Arthroplasty Surgery.), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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

objectivesWe aimed to compare the outcomes of exercise rehabilitation and conventional treatment in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

methodsThis trial included a total of 166 patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis; they were randomly divided into groups. The experimental group underwent systematic exercise rehabilitation, while the control group received naproxen (

resultsThe mean age of patients was 56.0 ± 10.5 years, and the average follow-up time was 12 ± 2.3 weeks. No statistically significant differences were seen in age, body mass index, and sex (

conclusionExercise better improved symptoms and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis over a 12-week follow-up period than that achieved with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and COX-2 inhibitors.
