Clinical and Demographic Predictors of Health-Related Quality of Life After Orthopedic Surgery With Implant Placement.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
backgroundOrthopedic surgeries can rehabilitate injuries and at the same time improve the patients' quality of life. The study aimed to assess patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL) six months after an orthopedic surgery with implant placement. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study with the use of a structured questionnaire among 103 patients was conducted. The 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) questionnaire was used to evaluate patients' quality of life.
resultsAccording to the findings of the multivariate linear regression analysis, low age, marital status (married in comparison to unmarried/ divorcees/widows), reduced intensity of the pain, and low educational attainment were associated with a better quality of life. Furthermore, the patients who were living with another person and the patients who underwent surgery on a part of the body other than the hip presented better quality of life. The results of the multivariate analysis explained 33%-67% of the variance of the SF-36 HRQOL.
conclusionMeasuring quality of life is a valuable asset that helps to reveal the frail patient groups, in which health professionals will prioritize their care and the state in turn will design primary care services to meet their needs after discharge from the hospital.
