General practice management of chronic post-surgical pain in patients with hip fracture: a qualitative study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Hip fractures are common among elderly people and often lead to chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP). Effective CPSP management when patients transition from hospital to community settings is essential, but has not been sufficiently researched. This study examined general practitioner (GP) perspectives on managing patients with CPSP after hip fractures in Shanghai, China. Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was performed wherein semi-structured interviews were conducted with GPs practicing in Shanghai who volunteered to participate. This study was initiated after a regional survey of general practice care for patients with CPSP following hip fracture. Results: Six key themes emerged: (1) GPs' care priorities for patients with CPSP varied; (2) pharmacological management posed challenges in terms of selecting appropriate medications; (3) consultation time constraints hindered comprehensive management; (4) GPs desired better communication from hospitals at discharge; (5) limited access to services, such as pain specialists and allied health, obstructed optimal care delivery; and (6) patient nonadherence to CPSP treatment was an issue. Conclusion: Multiple patient-, provider-, and system-level factors affected GP care for patients with CPSP after hip fracture. Improved interdisciplinary communication and education on evidence-based CPSP guidelines are needed to address the knowledge gaps among GPs. Barriers to healthcare access must be minimized to facilitate guideline-based care.
