Participant experiences of the Knee Care for Arthritis through Pharmacy Service (KneeCAPS): A personalised hīkoi (journey) through care.
Article in Osteoarthritis and cartilage open, 2026. 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
Background: Community-based Osteoarthritis Management Programmes may empower people to self-manage and alter their disease trajectory, reducing burden on individuals and communities, particularly for those with current health inequity such as Māori (Indigenous New Zealanders). Objective: To explore the perceptions of people with knee osteoarthritis receiving an interprofessional, community pharmacist-led intervention involving personalised education and referral for evidence-based care in community settings. Design: Cross-sectional design using qualitative methods based on Interpretive Description. Pharmacists, physiotherapists, and dietitians provided the KneeCAPS intervention in a randomised controlled trial in Aotearoa New Zealand, in which people visiting community pharmacies were screened for knee osteoarthritis. Intervention arm participants were offered tailored explanations, goal setting support and referral for land-based exercise, dietary support, and/or medication review. One-to-one interviews explored intervention participants' perceptions of the service delivery. Results: Twenty-three participants (Māori = 11, non-Māori = 12) took part in an audio-recorded interview after exiting the trial. Analysis by a team of Māori and non-Māori researchers identified two main themes. Theme 1 captured perceptions of value in receiving goal-orientated, empowering and cohesive collaborative care that led to sustained behaviour changes. Māori participants also reported holistic and culturally responsive care. Theme 2 highlighted unclear processes or missed opportunities in service delivery, unmet expectations, and disruptions in care due to complexities outside of KneeCAPS. Conclusion: Personalised and culturally responsive care is associated with changes that motivate ongoing self-care. It is important to adapt information and service provision to meet changing needs and external complexities at all points of the care journey.
