Characteristics of People with Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis Deemed Not Yet Ready for Total Joint Arthroplasty at Triage.
Article in Physiotherapy Canada. Physiotherapie Canada, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeTo identify the characteristics of people with hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA) attending a regional triage centre for an initial consult who are deemed not yet ready for total joint arthroplasty (TJA).
methodsInitial consultation notes (n=482) were reviewed retrospectively. Predictive variables were derived from the literature a priori, and 14 of these variables were suitable for inclusion in stepwise multiple logistic regression analyses.
resultsOf the 222 eligible people, 131 (59%) were deemed not yet ready for TJA. Five variables entered into the model ([Formula: see text]=133.19, p<0.001) for an overall success rate of 81.1%. Those deemed not yet ready for TJA were more likely to have knee OA (vs. hip OA; odds ratio [OR]=0.352, p=0.018), to have less severe OA (OR=0.246 for each category increase in severity, p<0.001), to use no gait aid (vs. cane; OR=0.390, p=0.033), and to have a higher Lower Extremity Functional Scale score (OR=1.050 for each 1-point increase, p=0.003) and better joint status as measured by the Knee Society Scale or Hip Harris Scale (OR=3.946 for each category increase, p=0.007).
conclusionConsidering these characteristics will help clinicians to identify individuals likely to require interventions other than TJA.
