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

INTRODUCTION AND

aimTotal Knee Arthroplasty surgery is one of the most successful operations in orthopaedics. Still a sizable percentage of patients remain dissatisfied. Various studies have been conducted to analyse the red flags associated with poor outcome. In this study we tried to have insight on actual requirements of Indian patients from TKA operation. MATERIAL &

methods300 patients undergoing TKA were studied by way of patient expectation feedback form. The form had various patient related capture points. It had a leading question: What are your expectations from TKA? They were asked to rank the 5 most important options in the order of importance. The patient expectation form was distributed and collected by an independent observer.

results70% of patients ranked relief of pain as the most important expectation. 20% reported improvement in walking as the number one expectation. Nearly equal number listed improvement in walking and ease of doing day-to-day activities as the second most important expectation. This was followed by improvement in climbing the stairs and improvement in quality of life. Correction of deformity and no pain while squatting and getting up from sitting position ranked at the bottom.

conclusionOur study shows that the primary expectations of Indian population from their TKA are relief from pain and improvement in walking. Secondary expectations include ease of doing day-to-day activities and improvement in quality of life.
