Patients' expectations about total knee arthroplasty outcomes.
Article in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to ascertain Patients' pre-operative expectations of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) recovery.
methodsTwo hundred and thirty-six patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent TKA completed self-administered questionnaires before their surgery. Patients' expectations of time to functional recovery were measured using an ordinal time-response scale to indicate expected time to recovery for each of 10 functional activities. Expected time to recovery was dichotomized into short- and long-term expectations for recovery of each activity using median responses. Knee pain and function were ascertained using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Other measures included the SF-36, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) and the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS). Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify pre-operative characteristics associated with short- vs. long-term expectations.
resultsSixty-five percent of the patients were females and 70% Whites; mean age was 65 years. Patients were optimistic about their time to functional recovery: over 65% of patients expected functional recovery within 3 months. Over 80% of the patients expected to perform 8 of the 10 activities within 3 months. Patients who expected to be able to perform the functional activities in <6 weeks were more likely to be younger, male, and have lower self-reported pain and better general health before surgery compared to those who expected to be able to perform the activities 3 months post-surgery or later.
conclusionPre-operative patient characteristics may be important to evaluate when considering individual Patients' expectations of post-operative outcomes.
