The Impact of Exercise Interventions on Pain, Function, and Quality of Life in Patients With Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease that significantly impacts mobility and quality of life (QoL). Exercise interventions, including aerobic training, resistance exercises, and multimodal programs, are widely recommended for managing symptoms. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various exercise interventions on pain, physical function, and QoL in individuals with knee and hip OA. A comprehensive search of five databases identified 12 studies involving 4,920 participants. The results revealed that Tai Chi and Baduanjin Qigong benefited older adults, while aerobic training was more effective for younger individuals. Additionally, combining diet with exercise produced the highest effect size (standardized mean difference: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.55-0.85). Personalizing exercise programs based on patient characteristics is essential for achieving sustained improvements. Future research should focus on strategies to enhance long-term adherence and develop standardized guidelines to optimize outcomes for individuals with OA.
