Gender Differences in Seeking Health Care and Postintervention Pain Outcomes in Foot and Ankle Orthopedic Patients.
Article in Women's health reports (New Rochelle, N.Y.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: A significant portion of the adults suffer from foot and ankle pain. The sex differences that exist throughout health care, pain management, and orthopedics may further complicate treatment strategies. The purpose of this study was to determine if there were any differences in women and men in health care seeking behavior and symptom chronicity in a West Texas orthopedic population with foot and ankle conditions. Materials and Methods: Data from 137 patients were collected in a retrospective chart review. Data were analyzed to determine if there were sex differences in time to primary care provider (PCP) after ankle injury, referral time from PCP to orthopedic surgeon consult, time from orthopedic consult to surgical intervention (if applicable), and chronicity of symptoms. Results: Women had a significantly higher percentage of chronic injuries than men (30.7% vs. 10.9%), but there were no sex differences in time to PCP from the time of injury, time from PCP visit to orthopedic consult, and time from orthopedic consult to surgical intervention. There were also no differences in those same time frames when compared by chronicity of symptoms (acute injury vs. chronic injury). Finally, we did not find any differences in pain scores between sexes or chronicity of symptoms. Conclusions: This study suggests that conventional health seeking sex differences may not apply to the foot and ankle patient population in West Texas and surrounding rural areas. Continuing to examine patterns in sex differences may lead to the development of more efficient and tailored treatment approaches and better outcomes.
