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

purposePatients' beliefs about treatment modalities for knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) will underlie their treatment choices. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, it is hypothesized that patients' beliefs, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control guide their treatment choices. Also, symptom severity and one's inherent tendency to approach or avoid situations are assumed to play a role. The objective of this study was to test whether these variables were associated with intended treatment choices in knee and hip OA.

methodsPatients with knee and hip OA were randomly selected from hospital patient records. They completed the Treatment beliefs in OsteoArthritis questionnaire to assess positive and negative treatment beliefs regarding five treatment modalities: physical activities, pain medication, physiotherapy, injections, and arthroplasty. Other measures were intention, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control (ASES), symptom severity (WOMAC), and the person's general tendency to approach or avoid situations (RR/BIS scales). Three models were tested using path analyses to examine the hypothesized associations.

resultsParticipants were 289 patients. Positive treatment beliefs and subjective norm were consistently associated with intended treatment choice across all treatment modalities. Negative treatment beliefs were associated with intended treatment choices for pain medication and arthroplasty. Other associations were not significant.

conclusionsThis is the first study testing the Theory of Planned Behavior in the context of treatment choices in OA. Findings suggest that foremost positive beliefs about treatment modalities and the norms of one's social environment guide a specific treatment choice. Unexpectedly, symptom severity was not related to intended treatment choices.
