Comparison of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) and sham-rPMS with supervised exercise on pain and function in knee osteoarthritis patients -protocol for randomized sham-controlled trial.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
backgroundKnee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative joint condition that impairs patient's quality of life and work productivity. Pharmacological management has been found to provide short-term symptomatic relief with adverse effects, whereas physical therapy has been recommended by guidelines as a prime treatment approach. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) in the treatment of KOA. MATERIALS AND
methodsA sham-randomized controlled trial will be conducted in a physiotherapy outpatient department with 74 participants aged 45-65 with KOA. Participants will be randomized into two groups: Group A will receive rPMS and supervised exercise, while Group B will receive sham-rPMS and supervised exercise for 6 weeks. The outcomes Assessments will occur at baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, and follow-up at 3 and 6 months. Statistical analysis will involve parametric or nonparametric tests based on data normality. Descriptive statistics will use means ± standard deviations or medians with 95% confidence intervals. Repeated measures ANOVA or Friedman's test will analyze within-group differences, with
resultsThe results will be reported using 95% confidence intervals to indicate the precision of the estimates and
conclusionsThis is the first comprehensive sham-randomized controlled trial evaluating the true individual impact of rPMS in the treatment of OAK.
