Efficacy of telerehabilitation for total knee arthroplasty: a meta-analysis based on randomized controlled trials combined with a bibliometric study.
Synthesis in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPhysical therapy (PT) is widely employed in osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to explore the research development of PT for OA and to identify the emerging treatment, and verify its efficacy. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe Web of Science Core Collection was used to conduct the bibliometric analysis. Furthermore, a meta-analysis based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed to evaluate the identified treatment's efficacy.
resultsA total of 3,142 articles were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, and the annual publication volume shows an exponential growth trend (R
conclusionTelerehabilitation proved to be more effective than traditional FTF rehabilitation in patients who underwent TKA. Further research is warranted to compare the different TELE interventions to establish the best protocols and timing for interventions.
