Prevalence and Nomogram-Based Prediction Model of Neuropathic Pain After Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Neuropathic pain (NP) following knee arthroplasty significantly impairs patient quality of life, yet current research lacks objective predictors and predictive models. This study aimed to identify postoperative NP associated factors and develop a nomogram prediction model. Methods: We enrolled 128 patients undergoing primary unilateral knee arthroplasty (February 2023-August 2024) with 6-24 month follow-up. NP was assessed using PainDETECT (PDQ) and DN4 scales; pain-related quality of life was evaluated via the Oxford Knee Score pain subscale (OKS-PS). Clinical records were systematically reviewed. Variables were screened using univariate logistic regression, optimized via LASSO regression, and incorporated into a multivariate logistic regression nomogram, followed by validation analyses. Results: NP incidence was 14.06% (18/128). OKS-PS confirmed a significant association between postoperative NP and reduced quality of life. The nomogram identified female sex, decreased preoperative range of motion (ROM), greater preoperative mechanical axis angles (pMAA) difference, and higher postoperative C-Reactive protein (CRP) as factors significantly associated with NP. Bootstrap validation yielded an AUC of 0.764 (95% CI: 0.760-0.770), sensitivity 0.707 (0.694-0.718), and specificity 0.737 (0.724-0.747). 10-fold cross-validation showed comparable results: AUC 0.813 (0.721-0.906), sensitivity 0.778 (0.5-0.938), specificity 0.764 (0.676-0.833). Calibration curves indicated agreement (MAE=0.037), and DCA demonstrated strong clinical utility across threshold probabilities of 0.003-0.391. Conclusion: Postoperative NP was significantly associated with female sex, reduced preoperative ROM, increased pMAA difference, and elevated postoperative CRP. The validated nomogram showed good predictive performance, establishing a reliable tool for early identification and risk assessment of post-arthroplasty NP.
