Low frequency physiotherapy on joint health, hemarthrosis, walking, balance and reaction time in hemophilic arthropathy: a controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06331091 (The Effectiveness of Low Frequency Comprehensive Physiotherapy Combined With Home Exercise on Joint Health, Frequency of Hemartrosis, Dynamic Balance and Reaction Time in Hemophilic Arthropthy), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundPhysiotherapy is recommended for people with hemophilic arthropathy (PwHA) to improve musculoskeletal health and is typically administered in 2 or 3 sessions per week. We aimed to investigate the effects of once a week comprehensive physiotherapy and home exercise on musculoskeletal system of PwHA.
methodsIn this study 19 young PwHA with knee and/or ankle were non-randomly divided into two groups: The Home Exercise Group (HEG) and the Comprehensive Physiotherapy Group (CPG). Joint health was evaluated with the Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS), muscle strength (MS) with manual muscle tester, range of motion (ROM) with universal goniometer, pain with Numerical Pain Scale (NPS). The following functional tests were used: 6 min Walking Test (6MWT) for walking capacity, Functional Reach Test (FRT) for dynamic balance and Fitlight
resultsCompared with the HEG, the CPG significantly ameliorated for NPS, FoH, HJHS, VMRT (time and mean), 6MWT, all MS and several ROMs. CPG significantly improved in all outcomes except for 1 ROM. The HEG significantly improved in FoH, HJHS, VMRT (time), 6MWT and MS, but not in the ROMs.
conclusionComprehensive physiotherapy once a week and continuing home exercise significantly improve joint health, functionality and balance, and reduce pain and hemarthrosis in PwHA.
