Physical Activity Knowledge in People With Knee Osteoarthritis Before and After Participation in an Education and Exercise Therapy Programme.
Observational study in Musculoskeletal care, 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
objectiveFew people with knee osteoarthritis meet the World Health Organization (WHO) physical activity guidelines, and knowledge of guidelines in this population is not well known. We examined (i) baseline knowledge of physical activity guidelines in people with knee osteoarthritis; (ii) change in knowledge following participation in an education and exercise therapy programme; and (iii) its association with programme adherence and physical activity participation.
designAn observational cohort pre-post study including 1470 participants with knee osteoarthritis (72% female) from the Good Life with osteoArthritis from Denmark (GLA:D) Australia registry. Five multiple-choice questions assessed knowledge of the WHO physical activity guidelines at baseline and at 3 months post baseline. Programme adherence was self-reported and physical activity participation was assessed using the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) physical activity scale. Changes in overall knowledge score were assessed through the Wilcoxon test and changes within individual questions were assessed with McNemar's tests. Associations between variables were assessed using Spearman's correlations.
resultsThe median physical activity knowledge score was 2/5 [IQR 1, 2] correct responses at both baseline and follow-up without change between time points (p = 0.080). Follow-up physical activity knowledge score was not associated with physical activity participation (r
conclusionsKnowledge of physical activity guidelines is limited among people with knee osteoarthritis and does not appear to change following participation in an education and exercise therapy programme. This large study indicates that physical activity knowledge may not drive physical activity behaviour in people with knee osteoarthritis.
