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

This study examined whether individuals undergoing total hip arthroplasty who are self-rated as "highly active", demonstrated higher pre-operative activity levels than others.

methods483 patients were retrospectively identified; 241 were "highly active" and 242 were not. They were compared using WOMAC, self-reported activity and 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT).

resultsSelf-reported highly active adults demonstrated statistically significant higher WOMAC scores (48.85 vs 43.79), increased mean number of activities performed and mean 6MWT (348.14 m vs 274.64 m).

conclusionsThe positive correlation between subjective and objective measures of mobility increase our confidence in the latter as valid indicator of patient's preoperative activity level.
