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

Aims: Despite the increasing prevalence of mental health disorders in revision arthroplasty patients, the impact of preoperative mental distress on functional outcomes after revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) remains unclear. Our study aims to investigate the impact of preoperative mental distress on functional outcomes after rTHA. Methods: Prospectively collected data of 84 rTHAs was extracted from a single institution's joint replacement registry. Preoperative Short Form-36 (SF-36) mental component summary (MCS) was used to dichotomize patients to those who were distressed (MCS <50) and non-distressed (MCS ≥50). Multivariable analysis was used to analyze the impact of preoperative mental distress on various outcomes such as the SF-36 physical component summary (PCS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Oxford Hip Score (OHS), patient satisfaction and expectation fulfilment at 6 months and 2 years postoperatively. Results: Compared to non-distressed patients, patients with preoperative mental distress had poorer improvements in PCS (+11.4 vs + 16.9, p = 0.007) and lower rates of minimal clinically important difference (MCID) attainment (55.2% vs 73.0%, p = 0.026) at 2 years postoperatively. However, there were no significant differences in improvements for WOMAC and OHS (p > 0.05). Despite experiencing greater absolute improvements in MCS (+12.1 vs -2.1, p < 0.001) and higher MCID attainment rates (65.5% vs 24.3%, p = 0.005) at 2 years, preoperatively distressed patients had lower MCS levels compared to their non-distressed counterparts at all time points (p-value<0.05). There were no significant differences in patient satisfaction (p = 0.509) or expectation fulfilment (p-value = 0.342) at 2 years postoperatively. Conclusion: Revision THA led to substantial mental health improvements in patients with preoperative mental distress. Despite this, preoperative mental distress was associated with poorer physical improvements after surgery.
