Structured home-based exercise programme and concentric versus eccentric-based stair training programme for pain and function in knee osteoarthritis: a two-phase, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial protocol.
Article in BMJ open sport & exercise medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of pain and disability worldwide. While exercise is crucial for managing OA, the effectiveness of a well-structured and efficient home-based, self-management exercise programme remains unclear. Therefore, this two-phase randomised controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of a structured home-based exercise programme (HEP) and concentric-based stair training programme versus eccentric-based stair training programme (CSTP vs ESTP) to develop an evidence-based approach for knee OA. Methods and analysis: This study will be a participant and assessor-blinded, randomised controlled trial that will enrol 247 knee OA participants. In Phase I, there will be a 1:1 split of participants into: an HEP and a control group P Ethics and dissemination: All activities and exercise programmes will follow the Helsinki Declaration of 2020. The findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and disseminated at international conferences. Trial registration number: CTRI/2025/03/081574.
