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

[Purpose] To provide data on the applicability of pedometers in the evaluation of the results of rehabilitative treatment on total daily walking activity after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA). [Participants and Methods] One hundred fifty six hospitalized patients (age 63.9 ± 12.2 years) involved. On the day of hospitalization and at the end of the rehabilitation treatment the following were performed: clinical examination, X-ray examination and weight. On the same day the pedometer was applied and removed after 48 hours. Only on 30 participants, the same evaluation was carried out 5 days before the hospitalization to measure reliability and responsiveness. Compliance was measured by a face-to-face interview. Visual analogic scale (VAS), Barthel Index (BI) and Ambulation Index (AI) were used to better describe the analyzed sample. [Results] VAS, BI and AI improved by 29.8%, 19.4 and 60.6% respectively. The data obtained on testing-retesting showed a good reliability and a mean Total Error of 7.3% for steps and 15.8% for distance. A good response in the test-retest was detected. The deambulatory autonomy of patients passed from 2,070 ± 740 m to 3,100 ± 810 m. Average improvement in the number of daily steps is 25%. [Conclusion] The data showed a good applicability of pedometer. The results on responsiveness can be used to better interpret the results of rehabilitative treatment on total daily walking activity after THA and TKA.
