The effect of cold therapy combined with ERAS in the postoperative care of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

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
objectiveTo investigate the nursing effect of cold therapy combined with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
methodsEighty patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent TKA in our hospital from August 2020 to January 2021 were enrolled in this study, and they were divided into a control group (n=40) and a study group (n=40) according to the nursing procedures. The time and cost of rehabilitation, pain level, recovery of knee function, incidence of postoperative complications, self-care ability, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe time of rehabilitation and time to out-of-bed activities in the study group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (
conclusionThe cold therapy combined with ERAS for patients undergoing TKA can improve the postoperative swelling and pain of the affected limb, inspire patients' autonomy in postoperative rehabilitation training, shorten the time to out-of-bed activity, prevent patients from developing venous thrombosis, promote recovery of knee function, and improve patients' postoperative self-care ability and quality of life.
