Positive effect of patient education for hip surgery: a randomized trial.
Trial report in Clinical orthopaedics and related research, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 papers, 7 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
The current trial compared patient education before total hip arthroplasty with the usual verbal information. A randomized, controlled 24-month prospective single-center study was done. Patients scheduled for a first elective total hip arthroplasty for primary hip osteoarthritis were enrolled. All patients were given the usual information and an information leaflet and completed a self-evaluation questionnaire (Spielberger State and Trait Anxiety Inventory). The patients were assigned randomly to two groups: Group 1 attended a collective multidisciplinary information session 2 to 6 weeks before surgery and the control group did not attend. All patients completed another State Anxiety Inventory just before surgery and then 1 and 7 days after surgery. One hundred patients were randomized. Forty-eight attended the collective information session. Patients receiving education were significantly less anxious just before surgery than patients in the control group, in linear regression after adjustment for gender, trait and state anxiety at baseline, depression score, and health assessment questionnaire score. They experienced less pain before surgery and were able to stand sooner. However, the trend toward lower anxiety scores was not statistically significant after surgery. Patient education decreases preoperative anxiety and pain in patients having hip surgery.
