Adherence to a Web-based Exercise Programme: A Feasibility Study Among Patients with Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04084834 (Feasibility of a Web-based, Peer-supported Exercise Program for Patients With Hip and/or Knee Osteoarthritis), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo describe adherence to a 12-week web-based aerobic exercise programme, to compare characteristics between those who adhere or not, and to identify barriers for exercising in patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis.
designSingle-arm feasibility study. SUBJECTS: Patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis in specialist healthcare, age 40-80 years, and not candidates for joint surgery.
methodsAdherence to a 12-week exercise programme was defined as having completed ≥ 2 exercise sessions a week for at least 8 weeks. Baseline differences between adherent and non-adherent groups in demographics, symptoms, disability, physical activity and fitness were assessed using Mann-Whitney U or χ2 tests. Reasons for not completing exercise sessions were reported in weekly diaries. Results: A total of 29 patients (median age 64 years, 72% female) were included. Median baseline pain (numerical rating scale 0-10) was 5. Fifteen patients adhered to the exercise programme, 14 did not. Non-adherent patients were less active (p = 0.032) and had lower cardiorespiratory fitness (p = 0.031). The most frequently reported barrier to exercising was sickness. Less than 10% reported pain as a barrier.
conclusionHalf of the patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis adhered to the digitally delivered exercise programme and the most frequently reported barrier for adherence was sickness, while less than 10% reported pain as a reason for not exercising.
