Total Knee Arthroplasty Postsurgical Chronic Pain, Neuropathic Pain, and the Prevalence of Neuropathic Symptoms: A Prospective Observational Study in Turkey.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeChronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is a detrimental condition that persists at least two months after surgical procedures and seriously affects patients' quality of life. Although its incidence varies according to operation types and definitions, its prevalence is between 3% and 85%. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of CPSP and neuropathic pain in patients undergoing TKA for osteoarthritis. PATIENTS AND
methodsIn this study, patients who had undergone total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were examined prospectively and observationally. 42 patients were included in the study. Numeric rate scale (NRS) for developing chronic pain, Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN-4) questionnaire to evaluate neuropathic pain and symptoms, and von Frey filaments to evaluate mechanical hyperesthesia and alladony.
resultsNRS scores were 1 or higher for all patients. Twenty-seven patients constituted the mild pain group (NRS: 1-4), and 15 patients constituted the moderate pain group (NRS: 4-7). The number of patients defined as having "neuropathic pain," according to DN-4 scores, was 17 (40.4%; DN-4 ≥ 4). The moderate pain group reported greater severity of neuropathic symptoms on average than the mild pain group (p = 0.039). When patients knees affected by TKA were divided into suprapatellar, patellar, and infrapatellar regions and evaluated with von Frey filaments, a significant difference was found between the three regions (p < 0.05).
conclusionIn this study, we showed-unlike other studies-that the rate of neuropathic pain was higher among CPSP patients, and all patients had neuropathic symptoms. In evaluating patients knees with von Frey filaments, we showed that the neuropathic component of patients' pain occurred mostly in the knee's infrapatellar region. Although the incidence of CPSP and neuropathic pain in these patients was higher than expected, we think CPSP, its diagnosis, and its treatment present an important issue that requires further examination.
