Activity levels following hip resurfacing arthroplasty: A tool to help manage patient expectations.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundWhen compared to total hip arthroplasty (THA), hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is usually undertaken in younger, more active patients with hip osteoarthritis. Previous research has noted that patients are able to return to pre-operative activity levels, with many even increasing their activity post HRA, but patterns in post-operative recovery have been less well investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: A randomised controlled trial dataset was analysed to explore activity levels attained after HRA. Data was collected on 80 male patients. The primary outcome of focus was the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Activity Index, with follow-up at 6 weeks, 16 weeks and 1 year.
resultsMean UCLA at baseline was 5.4 (SD; 2.1) which, after an initial fall to 4.7 (SD; 1.6, p = 0.008) at 6 weeks, increased at both the 16 week and 1 year follow ups (p < 0.001), with a final mean activity index of 7.2 (SD; 1.7). Mode UCLA at 1 year was 7 or 8, representing patients who are regularly taking part in activities such as cycling and golf.
conclusionFollowing HRA, patients can achieve significant improvements in activity measured using the UCLA Activity Index. Activity levels have been shown to initially decrease following HRA, with improvement throughout the first postoperative year. The results of this study provide clinicians with a simple tool to help patients visualise their post-operative recovery. This may have implications when managing patient expectations of post-operative activity level in both HRA and large head THA populations.
