Negative impact of waiting time for primary total knee arthroplasty on satisfaction and patient-reported outcome.
Observational study in International orthopaedics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07782177 (Optimizing Elderly Hearing Loss Care in Hong Kong A Cost-Effectiveness and Satisfactory Analysis of a Pilot Collaborative Model Between Otorhinolaryngologists and Family Medicine Specialists), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 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.

Abstract
purposeThe primary objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the time on waiting list for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on the post-operative satisfaction and patient-reported outcomes.
methodsThis was a prospective observational study of 192 patients followed for one year. Patients were pre and post-operatively assessed with the 12-item Short-Form, reduced Western Ontario MacMaster University, and Knee Society scores. In addition, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale was used at time of admission, and patient satisfaction on a five point Likert scale at one post-operative year. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed.
resultsPatients waiting longer than six months had significantly worse pre-operative anxiety score as well as post-operative SF12 (both physical and mental) and KSS-function scores compared to those with a waiting time shorter than six months. Dissatisfaction rate was also higher in patients waiting longer than six months, and it was mainly influenced by pre-operative anxiety and depression.
conclusionsWaiting time longer than six months negatively influenced post-operative satisfaction and patient-related outcome at one year after TKA. These findings may have important clinical implications regarding the prioritization of patients on wait lists or for optimization of treatment while patients wait for surgery related to the management of the mental health and anxiety in order to reduce post-operative dissatisfaction and improve patient-reported outcomes.
