Effectiveness of Isokinetic Muscle Strength Training on Knee Osteoarthritis Patients: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis.
Review in Journal of pain research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: This study systematically evaluated the effects of isokinetic muscle strength training (IMST) on pain, function, and muscle performance in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Patients and Methods: Randomized controlled trials comparing IMST with other interventions for KOA were searched across multiple international and Chinese databases up to January 2025. Two investigators independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias according to the Cochrane Handbook Version 6.1.0. The RevMan 5.4 software was used to perform the meta-analysis. Overall quality of evidence was rated using GRADE approach. Results: Nineteen RCTs involving 1386 patients were finally included. Three of which had high risk bias. Compared with other treatments, IMST showed a borderline improvement in Lysholm score (MD = 1.21, 95% CI: [-0.62, 3.04], Conclusion: IMST appears to improve pain and function in patients with KOA, but the overall certainty of evidence is limited. Further high-quality RCTs are needed to confirm these benefits and guide clinical practice.
