Combined mode-kinetic chain exercise with and without core stability exercises on patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Trial report in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06377813 (Effect of Combined Mode-Kinetic Chain Exercise With and Without Core Stability Exercises on Pain, Range of Motion, Quality of Life on Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis), which is not on this 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

Abstract
backgroundAmong adult population, the osteoarthritis (OA) of knee is the major issue that can lead to pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. Exercise therapy is a core component of management, yet the added value of core stability training in conjunction with kinetic chain exercises remains underexplored.
objectiveTo determine the effects of combined mode kinetic chain exercise with and without core stability training on pain, range of motion and quality of life in patients with knee OA.
methodsA total of 48 patients with osteoarthritis in their knees were the subjects of a randomized controlled experiment at PSRD Hospital in Lahore were randomly allocated to either Group B (kinetic chain exercise only) or Group A (kinetic chain exercise with core stability training) with 24 participants each. For 12 weeks, interventions were carried out three times a week. Quality of life (KOOS), knee range of motion (goniometry), and pain (NPRS) were evaluated at baseline, six weeks, and twelve weeks.
resultsGroup A and B both groups showed significant improvements in NPRS, ROM, and KOOS scores over time (p < 0.05). At 12 weeks, Group A demonstrated a greater reduction in pain compared to Group B (p = 0.002). Flexion ROM improved by 19.6° ± 3.2° in Group A versus 12.4° ± 2.9° in Group B (p < 0.001). KOOS total score increased by 34.8 ± 5.6 in Group A and 25.7 ± 5.1 in Group B (p < 0.001).
conclusionIncorporating core stability exercises into a kinetic chain exercise program yields superior improvements in pain reduction, knee range of motion and quality of life in knee osteoarthritis patients compared to kinetic chain exercises alone.
