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
Background: The neuromuscular training is a subgroup of functional exercises. The effectiveness of the neuromuscular training substantially improves in combination with electromyography (EMG) biofeedback. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of a new model of neuromuscular training in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods: This pilot, parallel randomized-clinical-trial involved 10 participants with moderate KOA, who were randomly assigned into either neuromuscular training for the gluteus maximus and gastrocnemius (pro-group = 5) or the quadriceps (against-group = 5). Muscle activity in the feedback phase of gait (EMG), pain (Visual Analog Scale [VAS] and knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score [KOOS]-pain score), and function (average walking speed and KOOS score) were assessed at baseline, immediately after the first treatment session (except KOOS), after 10 sessions of intervention, and after a 3-month of follow-up. Results: After the first treatment session, pain slightly (5.71%) increased in the against-group, whereas decreased by 6.45% in the Progroup; after the 10th session and 3 months, all variables in both groups improved, with a slight extra positive difference in the Pro-group. However, after 3 months, the percentage of changes in the Progroup was greater than that of the against-group. The pain intensity based on VAS (-96.8%), pain (+101.30%), and quality of life (+145.41%) scores of the KOOS questionnaire showed nearly 100% or even greater improvement in the pro-group. Conclusion: Retraining quadriceps and gastrocnemius and gluteus maximus using biofeedback during gait seems promising in KOA, although the Progroup apparently experienced considerably greater clinical improvement. The study provides preliminary evidence of the clinical feasibility of a novel neuromuscular training paradigm for KOA based on biofeedback during gait. Trial Registration: This study was registered under the International Randomized Controlled Trial Number registry on November 20, 2023.
