Early improvement in physical activity and function after total hip arthroplasty: Predictors of outcomes.
Article in Turkish journal of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThis study aims to assess early changes in physical activity and function after total hip arthroplasty (THA) using both subjective and objective methods, and to identify predictors of outcomes of THA. PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween October 2014 and October 2015, a total of 50 patients (14 males, 36 females; mean age 57.1±13.0 years; range, 31 to 75 years) with end-stage primary hip osteoarthritis who were scheduled for THA and 50 age- and sex-matched controls (10 males, 40 females; mean age 52.9±9.3 years; range, 36 to 75 years) were included in the study. Pain was evaluated using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), physical function using the Lequesne Index, physical capacity using the Six-Minute Walking Test (6MWT), and physical activity using both International Physical Activity Impact Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and step count monitor. Data at baseline and six weeks and six months were recorded.
resultsPain severity was significantly lower after THA at six weeks and six months (NRS scores: 2.83 and 0.82, respectively; p<0.001), compared to baseline. Physical function, capacity, and activity significantly improved after THA at six weeks and six months with a mean Lequesne Index score of 2.62 and 1.02, respectively. The mean 6MWT distance was 272.62 at six weeks and 326.16 at six months. The mean IPAQ and 6MWT results were similar between the patient and control groups at six weeks and six months. Age, presence of comorbidities, and baseline Lequesne Index score were found to be effective on functional outcomes of THA. Age and baseline 6MWT scores were correlated with physical capacity after THA.
conclusionOur study showed a significant early improvement in pain severity and physical activity and function at six weeks and six months after THA, compared to baseline values. Baseline values and age were the positive predictors of improved postoperative function and physical capacity.
