A systematic review meta-analysis were conducted by searching six databases up January 2024 (PubMed, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Web Science CNKI, Wanfang Medical), including RCTs that assessed KOA treatment. Two reviewers independently selected studies, extracted data, risk bias using Risk Bias tool (RoB2). Meta-analyses performed RevMan version 5.4.1 software. outcome indicators included WOMAC pain score, stiffness physical function as well total score adverse events. For summary results, weighted mean difference (MD) 95% confidence intervals (CI) used. Twelve involving 846 participants included. significantly improved (MD=-2.59, CI: -4.20 -0.97, P=0.002), (MD=-2.42, -3.75 - 1.08, P=0.004), (MD=-4.42, -5.67 -3.17, P<0.00001), (MD=-11.27, -14.26 -8.28, P<0.00001) compared controls. Subgroup analyses revealed significant improvements regardless intervention duration, frequency, or location. No events reported.

Conclusion: Based results our meta-analysis, it can be concluded interventions are alleviating main symptoms patients’ function.

Design/methodology/approach employs Bibliometric approach reveal causality’s direction between (1) digital and small medium (SMEs) (2) SMEs. causality has far-reaching impact on public policy, entrepreneurship economic development. The provides analysis overviews time, journal, co-authorship, keyword, citation, country institution. Findings findings have substantial field. From 2009 2017, there was lack (digitalization) SMEs, while 2018 2023, increased rapidly. journal shows that sustainability (Switzerland) contributes most literature. In addition, journals focus business, management accounting published significance is often judged how research could change current understanding, lead practical applications or open new avenues further research. Therefore, this presents perspectives developed countries, in case Germany, still dominate SMEs relationship accounting. Research limitations/implications suggests collaboration among countries can stimulate publication Practical implications Besides, leads future studies develop empirical (digital business/entrepreneurship) at both cross-country levels. author’s be recommendations policy development through entrepreneurship.
