Differences in 1‑year outcome after primary total hip and knee arthroplasty : A cohort study in older patients with osteoarthritis.
Article in Der Orthopade, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPatients who undergo primary total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty show better clinical outcomes, improved quality of life and increased participation in leisure activities; however, the differences between primary THA and TKA in older patients are unknown.
objectiveThe aim of the study was to compare the Western Ontario and McMasters University osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) scores and changes in WOMAC scores, the Medical Outcomes study 12-item short-form version 2 (SF-12) mental and physical health scales, satisfaction and frequency of participation in leisure activities in older osteoarthritis patients with a mean age of 67.9 ± 10.6 years who underwent primary THA and TKA. MATERIAL AND
methodsData from 170 THA and 169 TKA patients were collected 1 week preoperatively through self-reporting of WOMAC scores and SF-12. These parameters, level of satisfaction and frequency of participation in leisure activities were collected 1 year postoperatively by self-reporting questionnaires.
resultsThe THA group of patients showed better WOMAC scores (P < 0.05), changes in WOMAC scores (P < 0.05), physical component summary (PCS) of SF-12 (P < 0.01) and changes in PCS scores (P < 0.01) compared with the TKA group. In addition, the THA patients showed higher overall satisfaction (91.90% vs. 83.60%), pain relief satisfaction (87.20% vs. 77.40%) and functional improvement satisfaction (90.10% vs. 83.08%) in comparison with the TKA patients. Furthermore, a higher frequency of participation in leisure activities was achieved in THA patients, except for intellectual leisure activities.
conclusionThese findings suggest that primary THA provides superior clinical outcomes, quality of life, satisfaction, and participation in leisure activities compared with primary TKA in older patients.
