Fast-track rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty reduces length of hospital stay: A prospective, case-control clinical trial.
Article in Turkish journal of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the impact of fast-track rehabilitation (FTR) and conventional rehabilitation (CR) on early recovery pattern after fast-track surgery for knee arthroplasty and conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA). PATIENTS AND
methodsThis prospective, case-control study included a total of 43 adult patients (10 males, 33 females; mean age 69 years; range, 50 to 82 years) who were clinically stable and admitted for rehabilitation after fast-track surgery for knee arthroplasty or conventional TKA January 2016 and August 2016. The patients were divided into two groups as the FTR and CR treatment groups. The FTR program was designed as a patient-focused care, early mobilization, and standardized postoperative milestones. The CR program was designed by standard postoperative rehabilitation care. Primary outcomes were the length of stay (LOS) in the hospital and knee function. Secondary outcomes were pain and activities of daily living.
resultsAt baseline, both groups were similar in terms of demographic data and primary outcomes. At discharge, intra-group analysis showed significant differences in both groups in all functional outcomes, except for pain, while the inter-group LOS was also significantly different (p<0.001).
conclusionOur study results indicate that LOS can be reduced by FTR, yielding the same results in functional recovery and autonomy as CR.
