Impact of cloud-based follow-up exercise prescription on knee function and quality of life in homebound patients post-total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of a cloud-based follow-up exercise prescription on knee function and quality of life in patients undergoing home-based rehabilitation following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), thereby informing the application of telemedicine in post-TKA home rehabilitation.
methodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted from February 2023 to January 2024. Patients were divided into a control group and an intervention group according to a random number table. Both groups performed rehabilitation exercises based on exercise prescriptions. After discharge, the control group received follow-up via conventional methods, while the intervention group was monitored using a cloud-based follow-up system. Independent samples t-tests were employed to compare the two patient cohorts with respect to knee function, quality of life, adherence to rehabilitation exercises, and total follow-up costs.
resultsOf the 164 patients initially enrolled, 151 completed the 12-week follow-up and functional exercises: 75 in the control group and 76 in the intervention group. At 2 and 4 weeks post-surgery, the intervention group demonstrated superior knee function and adherence to rehabilitation exercises compared to the control group (all P < 0.05). At 4 weeks post-surgery, the intervention group also exhibited a higher quality of life (P < 0.05). At 12 weeks post-surgery, no significant differences were observed between the two groups in knee function, quality of life, or adherence to rehabilitation exercises. The total follow-up cost for the intervention group was lower than that of the control group (p < 0.05).
conclusionsCloud-based follow-up exercise prescriptions can improve knee function and quality of life in home-based patients in the early stages (within 4 weeks) of rehabilitation exercises after TKA, which is of clinical significance.
