Return to work and resumption of driving after anterior minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundReturn to work (RTW) and resumption of driving (ROD) are critical factors that influence postoperative quality of life in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, few studies have focused on the minimally invasive (MIS) approach and its effect on these outcomes.
aimTo investigate RTW and ROD's timelines and influencing factors following anterior MIS-THA.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 124 patients who underwent anterior MIS-THA. Data on the demographics, occupational physical demands, and RTW/ROD timelines were also collected. Clinical outcomes were measured using standardised scoring systems. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the differences between the groups based on employment status and physical workload.
resultsAmong employed patients, the RTW rate was 94.7%, with an average return time of five weeks. The average ROD time was 3.5 weeks across all patients. Despite similar postoperative clinical scores, RTW time was significantly influenced by occupations' physical workload, with heavier physical demands associated with delayed RTW.
conclusionAnterior MIS-THA facilitates early RTW and ROD, particularly in occupations with lower physical demands. These findings highlight the importance of considering occupational and physical workload in postoperative care planning to optimize recovery outcomes.
