Effects of land-based exercise on knee joint proprioception in individuals with knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Sports medicine and health science, 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
Background: Proprioception is significantly impaired in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA), which induces impaired functionality and quality of life. Exercise therapy is widely recommended by various guidelines, and land-based exercise is commonly used in previous studies. However, the effects of land-based exercise on proprioception and optimal exercise type remain unclear. Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of land-based exercise interventions on knee joint proprioception in individuals with knee OA. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception to June 2024. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale, and the risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. Results: Finally, a total of 9 RCTs were included, with a mean PEDro score of 6.11. The pooled data showed that land-based exercise may improve proprioception compared to control interventions ( Conclusions: These findings suggest that land-based exercise, especially mind-body exercises, should be included in proprioceptive training programs for knee OA. However, further research is needed to standardize interventions and reduce heterogeneity to strengthen the evidence.
