1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is widely performed for severe knee osteoarthritis, and postoperative rehabilitation plays a key role in optimizing functional recovery. This study compares the efficacy of conventional physiotherapy, virtual rehabilitation, and home-based telerehabilitation following TKA. Methods: A randomized controlled trial involving 120 patients was conducted. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three rehabilitation protocols. Outcomes were measured using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), range of motion (ROM), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA ( Results: Virtual rehabilitation showed significantly better KOOS and ROM outcomes at both follow-up points ( Conclusion: Virtual rehabilitation led to superior functional improvements, while home-based telerehabilitation effectively reduced the pain. These findings suggest that incorporating technology into rehabilitation enhances recovery post-TKA.
