Article in Health services insights, 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: Arthritis impacts approximately one in five Canadians, with hip and knee osteoarthritis being the most prevalent and can require total joint replacement (TJR) surgeries. In Saskatchewan, patients access pre-surgical assessments for hip and knee replacements at urban multidisciplinary clinics, and rural and remote residents face significant barriers to accessing these services. Indigenous Peoples experience disproportionally higher rates of arthritis and additional barriers accessing appropriate care. Objectives: The objective of this project was to identify the unique needs, strengths, and preferences of First Nation and Métis Peoples in accessing and receiving care for TJR. Design: An explorative qualitative approach. Methods: This study involved semi-structured qualitative interviews with 7 First Nation and Métis community members who have had or are awaiting hip or knee TJR and 6 orthopedic health care providers who have experience working with First Nation and Métis patients undergoing TJR. Health care providers included men and women, Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants. Community member participants completed a demographic and health questionnaire prior to the interview, with descriptive statistics used to determine participant characteristics. Ages of First Nation and Métis community members ranged from 43 to 75 years old ( Results: First Nation and Métis patient perspectives highlighted five major themes: 1) Difficulty Accessing Care, 2) Community and Family Support, 3) Pre-Surgical Experience, 4) Quality of Life, and 5) Virtual Care. Health care provider interviews indicated three major themes: 1) Challenges Accessing Care, 2) Education Associated with Total Joint Replacements, and 3) Future Resource and Implementation Needs. Conclusion: The results indicated a need for increased access to culturally responsive pre-surgical education and informed recommendations for future pre-surgical rehabilitation care interventions.
