Patients' expectations and satisfaction with total hip arthroplasty.
Article in The Journal of arthroplasty, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 6 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 122 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
Although there have been many studies focusing on the increasingly important assessment of patients' satisfaction, few studies have specifically addressed this tissue for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The goals of this study were to measure patients' satisfaction with THA and to evaluate the relationships of expectations and outcome to patients' satisfaction. A total of 180 patients were surveyed 2 to 3 years after THA about their experiences with THA. Patients cited 45 different expectations, which were grouped into five categories reflecting improvement in pain, walking, psychological state, essential activities, and nonessential activities. Overall, 89% of patients were satisfied with the results of surgery. Lower rates of satisfaction were found in patients who had a better preoperative condition (as measured by the surgeons with The Hospital for Special Surgery Hip Scale), in patients who expected improvement in nonessential activities, and in patients who reported worse postoperative condition (as measured by self-assessment with the Hip Rating Questionnaire and the Medical Outcomes Study Short-form General Health Survey). Patients were also asked how they came to THA. Nearly 50% of patients were first referred to an orthopaedist by family or friends or based on their own knowledge. Seventy-four percent either had subsequently referred others for THA or would have done so if they knew someone with hip pain. This study demonstrates that satisfaction with THA is a complex phenomenon, affected by expectations, outcome, and what patients know about the procedure from their community network. A better understanding of THA satisfaction will enable better future selection of patients and an additional dimension of outcome, both of which are important to patients and payers.
