1 · What the graph read from it

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

Introduction: Persistent pain and functional limitations after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain clinical challenges, influenced heavily by psychological factors like coping strategies and treatment expectancy. Tele-rehabilitation offers a promising approach to enhance continuity of care and patient engagement when integrated with psychoeducational support. This study compared the effectiveness of a personalized tele-rehabilitation program incorporating psychoeducational components and caregiver support with conventional outpatient rehabilitation following TKA, exploring the relationships between coping strategies, treatment expectancy, and clinical outcomes. Methods: This single-blind randomized controlled trial enrolled 48 patients undergoing TKA for knee osteoarthritis, randomly assigned to an experimental group (tele-rehabilitation with psychoeducational support; Results: Both groups showed significant improvements over time in all clinical outcomes ( Discussion: A personalized tele-rehabilitation program with psychoeducational components and caregiver support was implemented without adverse events in this sample. No statistically significant between-group differences were observed for functional outcomes, whereas greater reductions in pain were observed in the experimental group. The significant correlation between social support coping and better clinical outcomes suggests the potential importance of a biopsychosocial approach to post-TKA care.
