Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, PEDro, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus up to December 2024. Reporting completeness was assessed using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist and analysed using continuous and dichotomised approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixty\u2010seven RCTs were included. Reporting completeness of UC interventions was consistently low. Median TIDieR scores (range 0\u201312) were higher for exercise interventions (4.0; IQR 3\u20135) than for UC comparators (1.0; IQR 1\u20132). Continuous analyses detected significant differences between groups, whereas dichotomised analyses did not. Only 22.3% of exercise\u2010based interventions achieved high reporting completeness. No improvement was observed after publication of the TIDieR checklist, and no meaningful association was found between methodological quality and reporting completeness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Reporting of UC comparator groups in exercise\u2010based RCTs for knee osteoarthritis is poor and has not improved over time.
