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

backgroundAs the total hip arthroplasty (THA) mainly aims to improve the quality of life of the patients, study of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after THA has attracted much attention. Yet, the results considerably vary between studies. Here, we evaluate the HRQoL of the patient after THA, for the first time in the Iranian population.

methodsIn a case-control study, HRQoL was assessed in 217 patients after THA and compared with a matched reference population. The 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) was used for the evaluation of HRQoL. A multiple linear regression model was used to investigate the influence of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the patients on the HRQOL.

resultsThe mean follow-up of the patients was 27 ± 18 months. The mean total SF-36 score was 41.4 ± 22.2 in the case and 67.3 ± 26.6 in the control group (p = 0.001). The mean physical component score, but not the mental component score, was significantly lower in the patient group (p = 0.001). Except for the vitality and emotional role, all other SF-36 subscales were significantly lower in the case group. Male sex (B = 4.52, p = 0.023), number of comorbidities (B = - 4.82, p = 0.011), body mass index (B = - 1.18, p = 0.044), number of post-operative complications (B = - 6.57, p = 0.001), and adherence to physiotherapy protocol (B = 2.09, p = 0.014) were associated with HRQoL after THA.

conclusionAlthough THA is considered as one of the most successful orthopedic practices, it is associated with remarkable reduced HRQoL in Iranian population when compared with the reference population. A variety of patients-associated factors influence the HRQoL after THA.
