Loading of the artificial knee during early rehabilitation and physiotherapy : an in vivo study.
Article in Bone & joint open, 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
Aims: This retrospective observational study aimed to determine the in vivo joint loads in the knee after total knee arthroplasty during early postoperative rehabilitation involving different physiotherapy exercises and to analyze how these loads change over the first three weeks postoperatively. Methods: Nine patients (six males, three females) with a primary instrumented total knee replacement participated in the study. A total of 19 selected physical therapy exercises of varying load levels were performed on the ninth (SD 3) and 21st (SD 6) postoperative day. During these sessions, the peak resultant knee contact force (F Results: F Conclusion: All exercises remained below the forces of walking on ground level indicating safety for the postoperative rehabilitation. Physical therapists should consider these loads in relation to daily activities when designing treatment plans also referring to the different loads in different exercises.
