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

purposePrevious research reported conflicting findings regarding the association of sociodemographic and clinical variables with expectations for surgical outcomes. The current study aimed to identify and characterize different subgroups of osteoarthritis patients with respect to amount and level of expectations, and to examine factors that are associated with expectations.

methodsHip and knee patients (n = 287) completed a questionnaire 1 week post consultation. Linear regression analyses were performed to examine whether sociodemographic (e.g., age, sex) and clinical factors (e.g., pain, function) were associated with expectations. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify different subgroups and the step 3 method was conducted to assess subgroup characteristics.

resultsMean age of patients was 70 years (SD = 8) and 57% of patients was female. Most improvement was expected in walking ability and pain relief. Higher expectations were associated with younger age, male sex, and functional disability. Both hip and knee patients could be classified into three subgroups. These subgroups differed significantly on pain and other symptoms, and functional disability.

conclusionBoth hip and knee patients reported pain and other osteoarthritis symptoms and functional disability and consequently had high expectations in these areas for treatment outcomes. Higher expectations were characterized by more pain, more symptoms and more functional disability. These insights could guide physicians in the discussion of expectations during consultation.
