1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDifferences in the use of hip and knee replacement by sex, age, ethnicity or socioeconomic status may lead to differences in disease severity between those who have surgery.

methodsAnalyses used data collected from 117,736 patients in 2009-10 via the Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) programme in England. Adjusted differences were estimated in the Oxford Hip Score (OHS) or the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), both expressed on a scale from 0 to 48, and the proportion with longstanding problems (>5 years), expressed as odds ratios (ORs).

resultsWomen had more severe pain and disability than men on average (difference OHS 2.3 and OKS 3.3), but less often longstanding problems. Compared with white patients, average severity was higher in South Asian patients (difference OHS 2.7 and OKS 3.0) and in black patients (difference OHS 0.9 and OKS 1.6), who also more often had longstanding problems (OR 1.40 for hip and 1.54 for knee). Patients from deprived areas had more severe disease (difference OHS 3.6 and OKS 3.3 between least and most deprived quintile).

conclusionsThere is evidence that non-white and deprived patients tend to have hip and knee replacement surgery at a later stage in the course of their disease.
