The effect of an artificial intelligence-assisted motivational procedure on kinesiophobia and mobility after total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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
backgroundKinesiophobia is common after total knee arthroplasty and can negatively affect postoperative mobility outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of artificial intelligence-assisted motivational procedures on patients' fear of movement and mobility level after total knee arthroplasty.
methodThis study was conducted as a randomized, controlled, two-arm, parallel-design, single-blind trial in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. This randomized controlled trial was conducted with 90 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty at a public hospital between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. Data were collected before and after the intervention via the Patient Description Form, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, Patient Mobility and Observer Mobility Scales. The intervention group received an artificial intelligence-assisted motivational procedure before mobilization, whereas the control group received a standard procedure. The data were analyzed via SPSS version 27.0, and significance was set at p < 0.05.
resultsFollowing the motivational procedure, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, Patient Mobility and Observer Mobility Scale scores decreased significantly in the intervention group (p < 0.001), whereas the willingness to get up during the day increased (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the change in the daily number of times standing up was significantly greater in the intervention group than in the control group (p = 0.049). Between-group analysis showed a greater reduction in kinesiophobia in the intervention group (− 3.58, 95% CI: − 6.23 to − 0.94; d = 1.01), indicating a large effect. Significant between-group differences were also observed in patient mobility (− 6.60, 95% CI: − 9.82 to − 3.38; d:1.30) and observer mobility (− 1.44, 95% CI: − 2.65 to − 0.25; d:0.95).
conclusionsArtificial intelligence-assisted motivational procedures were associated with a reduction in the fear of movement and improvements in mobility outcomes after total knee arthroplasty. These findings suggest that such approaches may support rehabilitation by addressing psychological barriers to movement. However, further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term effects and clinical significance of these effects.
