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

introductionSex disparities in presentation of osteoarthritis and utilization of joint replacement surgery (JRS) have been demonstrated. The role of patients' unique perspectives on JRS on their treatment decisions is poorly understood.

methodsJRS candidates who were offered JRS but declined surgical treatment completed this survey. Survey questions included demographic information, patient experiences and current opinions around JRS, patient experiences with providers, goals and concerns, and barriers to JRS.

resultsMore women experience barriers to undergoing JRS compared with men (53% versus 16%; P = 0.014). While both men and women indicated pain relief as their primary goal for treatment, women were significantly more likely to prioritize regaining the ability to complete daily tasks and responsibilities when compared with men (P = 0.007). Both men and women indicated that low symptom severity and nonsurgical treatment options were the reasons for not undergoing JRS (P = 0.455). Compared with men, women trended toward feeling that they were not sufficiently educated about JRS (P = 0.051).

conclusionWomen have unique perspectives and goals for JRS that may pose sex-specific barriers to care. A better understanding of how patients' gendered experiences affect their decision making is necessary to improve treatment of osteoarthritis and decrease disparities in care.
