How active are patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty?: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Clinical orthopaedics and related research, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
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
backgroundQualitative research studies regarding physical activity in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) unfortunately are sparse in the current literature. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: To provide a foundation for future investigations, we performed a systematic review to identify the different instruments used to quantify physical activity in patients undergoing TJA and to determine how active these patients really are.
methodsWe systematically reviewed the literature on the bibliographic databases Medline, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE published until September 2008, focusing on studies assessing total physical activity in patients after or undergoing TJA. Results of those studies quantifying physical activity using accelerometers and pedometers were combined using meta-analytic methods.
resultsIn the 26 studies included (n = 2460 patients), motion sensors and recall questionnaires were most commonly used. The research aims and goals varied widely among the studies and the results mainly were descriptive. Studies quantifying physical activity using pedometers and accelerometers suggested a weighted mean of 6721 steps/day (95% confidence interval [CI], 5744-7698). Steps per day determined by accelerometers were 2.2 times the steps measured by pedometers. Metaregression showed that walking activity decreased by 90 steps/day (95% CI, -156 to -23) every year of patient age.
conclusionsThese results suggest patients undergoing TJA are less active than recommended to achieve health-enhancing activity levels (greater than 10,000 steps/day), but they appear more active than normally assumed in typical wear simulations. Future investigations have to evolve more standardization in the assessment and reporting of physical activity in TJA patients.
