A randomized replication trial of physical rehabilitation versus no physical rehabilitation (DRAW2).
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04960241 (Physical Rehabilitation Versus no Physical Rehabilitation After Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasties), 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.

Abstract
Total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA) are effective surgical treatments for end-stage osteoarthritis aimed at reducing pain and improving function. Although physical rehabilitation is widely recommended after THA and TKA, its added clinical benefit beyond natural recovery remains uncertain. In the DRAW1 trial, no superiority of physical rehabilitation over no physical rehabilitation was observed. We aimed to replicate the DRAW1 trial by comparing physical rehabilitation (home-based telerehabilitation, or home-based rehabilitation) to no physical rehabilitation following THA or TKA. This was a three-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled replication trial with blinded outcome assessment. The primary outcome was the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score/Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score ADL-subscale. 169 patients (76 THA/93 TKA) were randomized to home-based telerehabilitation (n = 52, 24 THA/28 TKA), home-based rehabilitation (n = 58, 27 THA/31 TKA), or no physical rehabilitation (n = 59, 25 THA/34 TKA) for six weeks. Mean group differences between physical rehabilitation and no physical rehabilitation were - 0.5 points (95% CI - 3.1 to 2.1; p = 0.70) at 6 weeks, 0.8 points (95% CI - 1.7 to 3.4; p = 0.52). These findings replicate the DRAW1 trial, with no superiority of physical rehabilitation observed following THA or TKA compared to no physical rehabilitation.
