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

backgroundPatient satisfaction metrics are increasingly being utilized as tools to evaluate the quality of healthcare and affect reimbursements. The objectives of this study were to (1) identify factors associated with two-year patient satisfaction after elective knee surgery, (2) compare the Surgical Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (SSQ-8) and a numeric satisfaction scale (NSS), and (3) determine if two-year patient satisfaction can be predicted based on preoperative factors.

methodsA total of 365 patients undergoing elective knee surgery at a single center were administered questionnaires to assess demographics, medical history, and various patient-reported outcomes preoperatively and at two years postoperatively. Patient satisfaction was measured at two years postoperatively with SSQ-8 and NSS. Bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses were performed to identify significant associations and independent predictors of satisfaction.

resultsSSQ-8 and NSS scores were significantly correlated (r

conclusionWhile there are multiple preoperative factors that are associated with two-year patient satisfaction after knee surgery, those factors contribute relatively little to satisfaction. Meeting expectations and better patient-based outcomes at two years are more important.
