Global mapping survey research on physiotherapeutic interventions for osteoarthritis: a scoping review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionPhysiotherapists provide non-pharmacological conservative treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) using a wide spectrum of interventions. Previous surveys have identified global physiotherapy OA management practices. However, no review to date summarises the scope and findings of these studies. This article describes a scoping review protocol to map the surveys investigating physiotherapeutic interventions offered to patients with OA to identify the treatment interventions currently used for OA, the physiotherapists' attributes and organisational practice factors potentially associated with the choice of these interventions and to detect knowledge-practice gaps in the provision of physiotherapeutic interventions in OA treatment, contributing to guiding future research on this topic. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a protocol for a scoping review that will be based on Arksey and O'Malley scoping review methodology and the methodological guidance for conducting scoping reviews published by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Relevant articles will be searched using the following databases: Medline (PubMed), Embase, Web of Science and Google Scholar. Surveys studies addressing physiotherapeutic interventions offered to patients with OA will be included. Study will be selected through title/abstract and full-text screening stages and data will be extracted using an instrument based on the model available in the JBI Manual. The findings will be summarised using descriptive statistics according to our research questions. This review will be reported in accordance with the Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required for this scoping review. Review findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, scientific conference presentations and scientific meetings. STUDY REGISTRATION: This protocol has been registered with the Open Science Framework (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/J3RBT).
