Is There a Difference in PROMs Between Morbidly Obese Patients and Nonobese Patients Following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty?
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 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
Background: Patient satisfaction and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are important for patients, surgeons, and payers in the current healthcare climate. Morbidly obese patients (body mass index [BMI] >40) have demonstrated higher incidence of complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and can have difficulty obtaining access for their surgical care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate PROMs and patient satisfaction in morbidly obese patients undergoing primary TKA. Methods: A total of 75 patients with BMI >40 kg/m Results: The patients of the BMI >40 cohort were less likely to be discharged home ( Conclusions: Morbidly obese patients are less likely to be discharged directly to home and may have functional differences after primary TKA. However, morbidly obese patients have similar PROMs and are as satisfied as nonobese patients at 2 years. Morbidly obese patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis should also be able to enjoy the benefits of primary TKA following medical and surgical optimization.
