Effects of Patient Education on Pain and Function and Its Impact on Conservative Treatment in Elderly Patients with Pain Related to Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06619080 (Ecoguided Genicular Nerve Block in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis by Local Anesthetic or by Combination of Local Anesthetic and Corticoid), which is not on this map. Cited by 58 papers, 5 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
(1) Background: Patient education (PE), exercise therapy, and weight management are recommended as first-line interventions for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA). Evidence supporting the effectiveness of exercise therapy and weight management in people with lower-limb OA has been synthesized in recent studies. However, according to the Osteoarthritis Research Society International, PE is often considered a standard of care and the inclusion of this as a first-line intervention for people with knee OA in clinical practice guidelines is often supported by limited evidence. The aim of this review is to evaluate the effects of PE on pain and function and how it impacts on conservative treatment. (2) Methods: This is a literature review of studies investigating the effect of patient education on pain and function and its impact on conservative treatment in elderly patients with pain related to hip and knee OA. PRISMA guidelines were followed during the design, search, and reporting stages of this review. The search was carried out in the PubMed database. (3) Results: A total of 1732 studies were detected and analyzed by performing the proposed searches in the detailed database. After removing duplicates and analyzing the titles and abstracts of the remaining articles, 20 studies were ultimately selected for this review. Nineteen of these twenty articles showed positive results in pain or function in patients with pain related to hip and knee OA. (4) Conclusions: PE seems to be effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with pain related to hip and knee OA. Furthermore patient education seems to positively impact the conservative treatment with which it can be associated.
