Effect of isometric exercise on knee pain perception among old people with osteoarthritis.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) has been identified as among the top three causes of chronic pain and functional limitations in aging populations. The first line of treatment for OA is exercise as part of a conservative management plan. Therefore, it is of interest to determine if isometric exercise would reduce pain perception of the knee in elderly patients (age 60-75) with knee OA. The sample consisted of 40 participants matched to experimental or control groups using consecutive sampling. Pain was measured before and after the intervention using a standardized pain scale. After the intervention, the mean pain score for the experimental group decreased from 4.70 to 0.37, for an overall mean difference of 4.32 (p < 0.05). Thus, we report that isometric exercise of the knee for the treatment of knee OA significantly reduces pain perception in older adults with knee OA.
