Effect of total knee arthroplasty on quadriceps and hamstring muscle recovery in individuals with knee osteoarthritis: A proposed systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.
Article in MethodsX, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Knee osteoarthritis is a prevalent degenerative joint disease leading to pain, stiffness, reduced mobility in the knee, and muscle weakness. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is typically the preferred surgical treatment option for moderate to severe osteoarthritis. A deeper understanding of quadriceps and hamstring muscle activation after TKA is needed to monitor patient prognosis postoperatively. This review aims to synthesize and summarize the available evidence on the effects of TKA on quadriceps and hamstring muscle recovery in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, EMBASE, and ProQuest Health & Medical Complete will be searched using relevant keywords related to knee osteoarthritis, total knee arthroplasty, surface electromyography and quadriceps and hamstring muscle recovery. Two reviewers will independently assess the related studies and extract data from the chosen articles. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool-1 and the Joanna Briggs critical appraisal checklist will be used to assess the methodological quality of the studies based on study design. Based on the relevance of the data and number of studies, a meta-analysis approach will be used to obtain a unified outcome. This review's findings will support clinical decision-making and offer direction for future researchers studying this patient population.
