Assessing Recovery Across the Mental Health Spectrum After Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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: The rising prevalence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) parallels increasing rates of anxiety and/or depression (Anx/Dep), yet the impact on recovery remains poorly defined. This study evaluates how Anx/Dep influences recovery and patient-reported outcomes after TKA, and whether Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health Short Form (10 items) (PROMIS-10) Mental Health T-scores provide additional insight. Methods: A retrospective review of 624 primary TKA patients (July 2023-October 2024) was performed. Patients were grouped by Anx/Dep diagnosis (309 with, 315 without) and stratified by PROMIS-10 Mental Health T-scores into below average mental health T-score (BA-MHT), average mental health T-score (A-MHT), and above average mental health T-score (AA-MHT) groups. PROMIS-10 physical, PROMIS-10 mental, and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS, JR) scores were collected preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Opioid use, pain, length of stay (LOS), and readmission rates were compared. Baseline demographic differences between groups were present. Results: Anx/Dep patients had significantly longer LOS, greater opioid use before discharge, and higher early postoperative pain. Although KOOS, JR scores were similar at 1 year, Anx/Dep patients reported consistently lower PROMIS-10 mental and physical scores ( Conclusions: Anx/Dep is associated with increased early postoperative burden following TKA. PROMIS-10 mental health scores better capture variation in recovery, suggesting that mental health influences outcomes along a continuum rather than a binary diagnosis. Routine PROMIS-10 screening may help identify at-risk patients and guide personalized care strategies.
