A Video-Based Intervention for Increasing Health Literacy in Total Joint Arthroplasty Patients at a Safety-Net Hospital: A Prospective Single-Blind Cohort Study.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Health literacy is a major determinant of health outcomes, with low literacy correlated with increased risk of postoperative complications and lower patient-reported outcomes. This study sought to increase health literacy in a subset of Los Angeles County patients who would be undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) using a video-based intervention. Methods: We enrolled 51 patients scheduled to undergo TJA. The first 26 patients were allocated into the prevideo group who underwent the typical preoperative visit, and the next 25 patients were enrolled into the video-intervention (postvideo) group. Results: No differences in baseline health literacy based on the Newest Vital Sign survey were noted between the groups (1.88 ± 1.90 vs 1.28 ± 1.24; Conclusions: Patient knowledge about arthritis and TJA significantly improved as measured by the modified arthritis knowledge survey in the postvideo group compared to a discussion with their surgeon.
