Comparison of Postoperative Pain and Clinical Outcomes of Total Knee Arthroplasty Among Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis Referred to Clinic or Emergency Department.
Article in Advanced biomedical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is among the most frequent orthopedic procedures. TKA has been shown to provide significant benefits to patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). We hypothesized that patients undergoing primary TKA with diverse preoperative diseases would have varying expectations for both pain and function following TKA. Materials and Methods: Patients diagnosed with OA or RA participated in this prospective cohort investigation. We assessed variables including Knee society score (KSS), and patient's quality of life using 36-Item Short Form Survey Instrument (SF-36). Pain was also measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: In this study, 606 patients including 412 females and 194 males with a mean age of 65.5 ± 8.7 years were included in the study. Among patients, 46 patients underwent TKA due to RA and 560 patients due to knee OA. There was no statistically significant difference in term of KSS clinical score before the operation ( Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that patients with OA after TKA have better KSS clinical and functional results than patients with RA.
