[Predictors for persistent pain and dissatisfaction after total knee arthroplasty].
Review in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundA substantial number of patients patients suffer from persistent pain or are unsatisfied after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
objectivesThis work aims to present the frequency of postoperative persistent pain and/or dissatisfaction as well as known causes and predictors. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe current literature is studied regarding the subject and is reviewed narratively.
resultsMost postoperative problems did not arise from operation details, but from patient-related criteria, a lack of patient education and selection. The satisfaction correlates most strongly with the reduction of preoperative pain.
conclusionFor a successful TKA, care should be taken that the following aspects are met preoperatively: clinically and radiologically advanced osteoarthritis, a patient age preferably older than 60 years, sufficient psychosocial resources to cope with postoperative stress, no opioid medication and realistic expectations after TKA. Postoperatively, patients with persistent pain or dissatisfaction should be checked for any prosthesis-related problems. If no prosthesis-related problems could be detected, the patients should be referred for interdisciplinary therapies.
