Randomized trials to modify patients' preoperative expectations of hip and knee arthroplasties.
Trial report in Clinical orthopaedics and related research, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 113 papers, 5 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

Abstract
unlabelledPatients have multiple expectations of THA and TKA. We asked whether preoperative educational classes addressing recovery during the first year could modify patients' expectations of their 12-month postoperative recovery. Participants were enrolled consecutively in two randomized, controlled trials, one for THA (177 patients) and one for TKA (143 patients). Control patients preoperatively received a standard THA or TKA class addressing recovery immediately after surgery. Intervention patients preoperatively received the standard class plus a joint-specific module addressing recovery during the first 12 months. Before and after the class, patients completed either a hip-specific or knee-specific validated expectations survey. The main outcome was the within-patient change in expectation scores (maximum increase, +100; maximum decrease, -100) before and after the class but preoperatively. Mean changes in hip scores were +3.3+/-8 for intervention patients (range, -22+/-32) and +4.9+/-8 for control patients (range, -13+/-29). Mean changes in knee scores were -3.4+/-10 for intervention patients (range, -26+/-33) and +2.4+/-10 for control patients (range, -30+/-30). Patients' preoperative expectations of their recovery from THA or TKA can be modified by preoperative educational classes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I, therapeutic study.
