High Levels of Kinesiophobia at Discharge from the Hospital May Negatively Affect the Short-Term Functional Outcome of Patients Who Have Undergone Knee Replacement Surgery.

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
backgroundKinesiophobia is a psycho-cognitive factor that hampers recovery after orthopedic surgery. No evidence exists on the influence of kinesiophobia on the short-term recovery of function in patients with knee replacement (KR). Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of kinesiophobia on short-term patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and performance-based measures (PBMs).
methodsForty-three KR patients filled in the Tampa scale for kinesiophobia (TSK) at time of discharge. Patients with TSK ≥ 37 were allocated to the kinesiophobia group (
resultsSignificant differences were observed between groups for PROMs and PBMs. Kinesiophobia significantly contributed to the reduced functional outcomes.
conclusionAt discharge from the hospital, 55.8% of KR patients demonstrated high levels of kinesiophobia (TSK ≥ 37). This may negatively influence short-term recovery of these patients, by putting them at higher risk for falling and reduced functionality.
