Comparison of proprioception between osteoarthritic and age-matched unaffected knees: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeTheoretically, proprioceptive acuity could decrease in patients with knee osteoarthritis. However, there have been conflicting results in terms of proprioceptive deficit in osteoarthritic knees. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare knee proprioception between osteoarthritic and healthy control knees.
methodsStudies comparing proprioception in osteoarthritic and healthy knees of age-matched control group using thresholds to detect passive motion (TTDPM) or joint position sense (JPS) tests were identified. JPS was assessed by measuring the reproduction of passive positioning (RPP) or active positioning (RAP) of the knees.
resultsSeventeen studies were finally included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results of the analyses of the TTDPM for both 30° and 45° knee flexion showed that the mean angle of error was 0.83° greater (95% confidence interval: 0.44 to 1.23°; p < 0.001) in the osteoarthritic knees than in control knees. The pooled data of the RAP and RPP also showed that the mean angle of error was 1.89° greater in the osteoarthritic knees than in the control group. The mean difference in the angle of error between the osteoarthritic knees and control group was 1.06° greater in the JPS test than in the TTDPM (p < 0.001).
conclusionThe knee proprioceptive acuity of the patients with knee osteoarthritis was poorer than that of the patients with unaffected knees in the age-matched control group both in terms of the TTDPM and JPS; clinical relevance of these deficits needs to be clarified in further studies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Meta-analysis, Level II.
