Physiotherapy Intervention Improves Clinical Outcomes and Quality of Life in Elderly Patients with Osteoarthritis: A Prospective Cohort Study.

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 is the most common disease among the elderly population and is expected to be one of the leading causes of physical disability worldwide. Our objective was to compare the effects of physiotherapeutic interventions versus pharmacological treatment on outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoarthritis. This cohort study was conducted on 119 elderly individuals aged 60 to 95 years (58.8% women) from the YUYAQ nursing home. Two groups were divided: the intervention group (58 individuals-48.7%) received a two-month physiotherapy program, and the control group (61-51.5%) received exclusive use of anti-inflammatories. Between the intervention and control groups, we observed significant improvements (all
