Structured Exercise Program for Hip Arthroplasty: An Expert Consensus Using the Delphi Technique.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Background: A structured exercise program following hip arthroplasty for hip fractures is crucial for improving patients' physical function and quality of life. Despite the increasing incidence of hip fractures, there is a dearth of literature on exercise programs for hip arthroplasty performed for fractures. This study aimed to obtain an expert consensus on a structured exercise program for hip arthroplasty patients. Methods: A literature search was performed in electronic databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, PEDro, and Scopus, and evidence was pooled and formulated into items for the protocol. A three-round, online modified Delphi survey was conducted to validate the results of the framed exercise protocol which included national and international physiotherapy experts as panelists. Results: In round 1, 59 items about rehabilitation were mailed to the panelists, and 50 items reached a consensus. Round 2 had 19 items, and 13 items reached a consensus. Consensus was sought on items for which the authors disagreed by sending them for review before the next round. In round three, a model exercise program was framed based on the results of previous rounds and was mailed to the panelists for their feedback. Based on their comments and suggestions, the framework of the structured exercise program was finalized. Conclusions: Based on the results of the Delphi survey, the exercise protocol for hip arthroplasty was framed and validated. The validated exercise program can serve as guidance for physiotherapists in enhancing optimal recovery following hip arthroplasty.
