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

Total joint arthroplasties are one of the most common orthopedic procedures with over 1 million total hip and knee arthroplasties performed annually. While the majority of patients experience favorable long-term outcomes, a significant number of patients continue to report persistent pain more than 3 months post-arthroplasty that is unresponsive to conservative treatment. Although current treatment options may seem limited, there are a variety of innovative procedures for the management of post-arthroplasty pain with the overall goal of reducing pain and restoring function. In this review, we outline the work-up for persistent post-arthroplasty pain and provide a review of the literature on interventional treatment modalities consisting of intra-articular steroids, radiofrequency ablation, and neuromodulation for the management of chronic post-arthroplasty pain in the hip, knee, ankle, and shoulder.
