The Effects of 24 Weeks Sensorimotor Training on Balance, Physical Function, and Pain in Women with Knee Osteoarthritis.

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
backgroundOsteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease that often leads to impaired postural control, pain, and reduced physical function. Exercise is considered a first-line treatment, with sensorimotor training being an effective approach for managing OA. However, the optimal method of sensorimotor training for individuals with OA has not yet been established. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the effects of a 24-week Gyrokinesis method (GK) versus Pilates (PL) intervention on balance control, function, pain and kinesiophobia in women with knee OA.
methodsTwenty women (aged 60 ± 7 years) with grade 2 or 3 knee OA were assigned to either GK (
resultsGK resulted in significantly greater improvements than PL in postural sway mean velocity AP right (GK -53.85% vs. PL -20.17%), AP left (GK -43.48% vs. PL +13.45%), and ML left (GK -40.18% vs. PL +37.95), pain reduction (GK -82.5% vs. PL -33.3%), and physical function (Sit-to-Stand: GK +75.9% vs. PL +3.7%; TUG: GK -16.4% vs. PL -13.8%; Step Test right: GK +34.2% vs. PL +19.9%; Step Test left: GK +41.4% vs. PL +18.1%) (all,
conclusionsGyrokinesis method may be more effective than Pilates in enhancing balance, reducing pain, and improving physical function in women with knee OA. These findings support the use of the Gyrokinesis method in rehabilitation programs for individuals with OA.
