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
objectiveWe aimed to evaluate the improvement effect of proprioceptive enhancement training combined with staged rehabilitation training on knee joint function in patients post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
methodsThis prospective, randomized controlled trial enrolled 80 patients with knee osteoarthritis after TKA, who were randomly allocated to a control group (routine rehabilitation training, n = 40) or an observation group (proprioceptive enhancement training + staged rehabilitation training, n = 40). Both groups underwent continuous training for 4 weeks, with the intensity tailored to the patients' tolerance levels. Outcome measures included pain (VAS), knee function (HSS score), balance (BBS), range of motion (MKFA), and daily living ability (ADL). Postoperative complications were recorded.
resultsBoth groups showed noticeable post-intervention improvement in all functional measures. After the intervention, the observation group had lower VAS score (Z = -4.448, η² = 0.228, p < 0.001) and ADL score (Z = -2.654, η² = 0.088, p = 0.008), and higher HSS score (t = 3.219, Cohen's d = 0.720, p = 0.002), BBS score (t = 2.980, Cohen's d = 0.665, p = 0.004), and MKFA (t = 4.464, Cohen's d = 0.999, p < 0.001) than the control group. The observation group exhibited a lower incidence of postoperative complications after TKA than the control group (p = 0.048).
conclusionProprioceptive enhancement training & staged rehabilitation training provides superior outcomes in pain relief, functional recovery, and complication reduction post-TKA. This combined approach presents a clinically valuable strategy for optimizing postoperative knee rehabilitation.
