Remote and In-person Supervised Exercise in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis (RISE-KOA): study protocol for a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06101797 (Remote and In-person Supervised Exercise in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundKnee osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint condition resulting in years lived with disability. A first-line treatment recommended by clinical guidelines is the therapeutic exercise to control pain and improve physical function. One possible approach for exercise supervision is telehealth using video calls, as it can be an effective alternative to in-person physical therapy for treating musculoskeletal conditions, expanding community access to physical rehabilitation. In this scenario, this study aims to investigate whether a muscle-strengthening exercise program for the lower limbs supervised remotely via video calls is as effective as the same exercise applied in person for improving pain, physical function, condition-specific patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), psychological well-being, sleep quality, functional performance, and quadriceps muscle architecture.
methodsA Remote and In-person Supervised Exercise in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis (RISE-KOA) study is a parallel, two-armed, single-blinded protocol for a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial. Forty-eight participants aged 45 years or more, with a symptomatic and radiographic diagnosis of unilateral or bilateral knee OA (grade II or III according to Kellgren and Lawerence) will be randomly assigned to a remote exercise group supervised by video calls or in-person exercise group supervised at a physiotherapy clinic. Both groups will receive the same muscle-strengthening exercises for the lower extremities for 12 weeks. Follow-ups will be conducted during treatment (6 weeks), after treatment (12 weeks), and 18 weeks after randomization. The primary outcomes will be pain intensity and physical function during (6 weeks) and after treatment (12 weeks). Secondary outcomes will be condition-specific PROMs, psychological well-being, sleep quality, functional performance, and quadriceps muscle architecture. DISCUSSION: We hypothesize that muscle strengthening exercise supervised remotely via video calls will not be inferior to in-person exercise at a physiotherapy clinic in terms of primary and secondary outcomes in patients with knee OA.
