Changes of and interrelationships between performance-based function and gait and patient-reported function 1 year after total hip arthroplasty.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics and traumatology : official journal of the Italian Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundThe aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the degree of improvement in, and interrelationships between, performance-based function, gait, and patient-reported function 1 year after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with primary hip osteoarthritis (OA). MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty-four patients with hip OA, with a mean age of 67 years (standard deviation, SD 9 years), and 25 age- and gender-matched healthy controls performed three performance-based functional tests, instrumented three-dimensional gait analysis, and completed the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score prior to and 1 year after THA. Effect sizes with 95 % confidence intervals were calculated as measures of the magnitude of improvement in performance after surgery.
resultsPerformance-based function displayed large improvements 1 year after THA. Overall gait patterns, quantified using a kinematic and a kinetic gait index, respectively, revealed moderate improvements in kinematics of the operated limb and kinetics of the contralateral limb. Patient-reported function displayed the largest improvement after surgery.
conclusionsThe findings of this study suggest that objectively measured improvements in performance-based function and gait are not in line with patient-reported functional improvements, highlighting the importance of using both subjective and objective methods for evaluating function following THA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
