Patient-reported outcome after fast-track knee arthroplasty.
Trial report in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to describe patient-related functional outcomes after fast-track total knee arthroplasty and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Furthermore, we wanted to assess physical areas where an additional need for rehabilitation could be identified, and finally, we wanted to describe the association between physical function, health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) and patient satisfaction.
methodsThe study consisted of 211 consecutive fast-track patients of which none received additional rehabilitation beyond an instructional exercise plan at discharge, which was adjusted at one outpatient visit. The patients filled in 3 questionnaires (EQ-5D, SF36 and a disease-specific questionnaire) at 2 time points before the operation and 2 time points after the operation. The observed results were compared to normative population data for EQ-5D and SF36.
resultsFour months after the operation, the patients had reached a HRQOL level of 0.82 (SD 0.15), which was lower than the background population norm of 0.85 (n.s.), whereas it equaled the population norm at 12 months (n.s.). For SF36, physical function was 62.8 (SD 23.0) at 4 months and 66.2 (SD 24.1) at 12 months, which was lower than the background population norm of 75.0 (P < 0.01). No or mild pain and good function ability were associated with high HRQOL and patient satisfaction at follow-up.
conclusionsThere seems to be an additional need for postoperative rehabilitation after fast-track total knee arthroplasty and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty regarding early functional outcome. No or mild pain and good functional abilities at 4 months are associated with high HRQOL and patient satisfaction at 4- and 12-month follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.
