Personality traits predict residual pain after total hip and knee arthroplasty.

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
aim of the studyWe assessed the role of personality traits, anxiety, and depression in residual pain among patients who underwent total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty.
methodEighty-three patients (40 THA and 43 TKA) were interviewed pre-operatively (t
resultsPain reduction and functional improvement were reported at t DISCUSSION: The proportion of patients complaining of residual pain in this study was similar to that in previous findings. Multiple predictors of residual pain after THA and TKA have been previously described, and several studies evaluated the influence of psychological factors on the outcome of joint arthroplasty; however, only four studies investigated the role of personality traits in the outcome of THA and TKA patients, and a unique study out of these investigations demonstrated the effect of personality on persisting pain.
conclusionThe current study demonstrated that personality traits and anxiety predict residual pain; thus, pre-operative evaluation of these factors could be helpful in identifying patients at risk for residual pain.
