Ungraded means an effect was reported without a GRADE rating; it is not a gap. No studies means the review found nothing to answer the question. The six categories are a display order, not a score.
Questions and results
Summary of findings table: Physical activity and exercise programs in osteoarthritis
Population: People with hip or knee osteoarthritis
| Outcome | Effect | Evidence | Status / GRADE |
|---|---|---|---|
Pain (at study completion) WOMAC (VAS or NRS) from 0 to 20; lower scores mean reduced pain | no estimate extracted | 4 studies · 313 participants | Low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision |
Physical function (at study completion) WOMAC (self administered health status measure) from 0 to 68; lower scores mean better function | no estimate extracted | 4 studies · 310 participants | Low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision |
Quality of life (at study completion) EuroQol (VAS) from 0 to 200 mm; higher score means better function | no estimate extracted | 1 study · 214 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision |
Adverse effects (related to the exercise programs) | Peto OR 1.72 [0.51, 5.81] | 4 studies · 364 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision, inconsistency |
Severe adverse events or withdrawals (due to adverse events) ‐ not reported | no estimate extracted | NR | No studies |
