Program evaluation of GLA:D® Australia: Physiotherapist training outcomes and effectiveness of implementation for people with knee osteoarthritis.
Article in Osteoarthritis and cartilage open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 46 papers, 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Evaluate the implementation of Good Life with osteoArthritis from Denmark (GLA:D®) for knee osteoarthritis in Australia using the RE-AIM QuEST (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance Qualitative Evaluation for Systematic Translation) framework. Design: Physiotherapists completed surveys before and after GLA:D® training (2017-2020) to assess practices, and barriers and enablers to implementation. Patients completed online baseline, 3-month (post-treatment) and 12-month patient reported outcomes. Effective implementation was defined as within-participant moderate effect size (ES, ≥0.50) for average pain (100 mm VAS) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score quality of life scores (KOOS-QoL), and small effect size (≥0.20) for health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L). Results: Conclusion: Training changed practice and was associated with effective widespread implementation of GLA:D® in Australia.
