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

Background Approximately 10% of patients experience persistent pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Pain mechanisms, such as neuropathic pain, central sensitization, and pain rupture symptoms, have been reported to be associated with persistent postoperative pain. However, no studies have examined these mechanisms simultaneously. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the preoperative prevalence of neuropathic pain, central sensitization, and pain catastrophizing among patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) and identify risk factors for persistent pain after THA, focusing on neuropathic pain, central sensitization, and pain catastrophizing. Methods In this retrospective study, 311 patients who underwent THA for hip OA were included. Preoperative neuropathic pain, central sensitization, and pain catastrophizing were evaluated using the pain-DETECT, Central Sensitization Inventory, and Pain Catastrophizing Scale, respectively. Persistent postoperative pain was defined as a Numerical Rating Scale score ≥3 at 12 months postoperatively. Persistent and non-persistent pain groups were compared using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Preoperatively, neuropathic pain, central sensitization, and pain catastrophizing were present in 84 (27.0%), 74 (23.8%), and 183 (58.8%) of patients, respectively. In this study, 36 (11.6%) patients experienced persistent pain. The persistent pain group had a significantly higher prevalence of central sensitization and pain catastrophizing than the non-persistent pain group (
