The effectiveness of Kinesio Taping
Trial report in Clinical rehabilitation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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 evaluate the effectiveness of the Kinesio Taping
designRandomized, double-blinded, controlled trial.
settingOutpatient rehabilitation department. SUBJECTS: A total of 187 subjects with symptomatic I-III grade KO participated; of these, 157 subjects were included in the analyses (intervention group,
interventionThe intervention group received a specific Kinesio Taping application, and the control group received non-specific knee taping for a month. MAIN MEASURES: Changes in Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS), knee active range of motion, 10-Meter Walk, and the five times sit to stand tests (5xSST) were assessed at baseline, after four weeks of taping, and a month post taping intervention. Subjective participants' experiences and opinions on the effect of knee taping were evaluated. The chosen level of significance was
resultsThe mean age of participants was 68.7 ± 9.9 in intervention group and 70.6 ± 8.3 in control group (
conclusionInvestigated Kinesio Taping technique did not produce better results in mobility and functioning improvement over non-specific knee taping; however, it had higher patient-reported subjective value for symptom attenuation and experienced mobility enhancement.
