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

backgroundRacial and ethnic disparities have been widely reported in orthopaedic surgery, but recommendations for meaningful change remain limited. This study aimed to quantify the extent to which the relative socioeconomic differences of neighborhoods contribute to health inequity.

methodsA survey assessing a wide range of social determinants of health and patient-reported outcome measures was administered to 503 patients presenting to a multi-disciplinary orthopaedic clinic. Area Deprivation Index (ADI) was used as a neighborhood disparity indicator along with patient reported demographics, social, medical, and economic characteristics. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess factors associated with lower Knee and Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS Jr. & HOOS Jr.).

resultsSignificant factors associated with lower hip and knee functional outcomes included advanced age, BMI ≥ 40.0 kg/m

conclusionsThe association between socioeconomic deprivation and the burden of knee and hip pain was better explained by direct patient factors such as race, advanced age, higher BMI, opioid use, non-English literacy, and longer distances traveled rather than indirect factors such as the ADI.
