Sociodemographic Factors Associated With Decreased Compliance to Prescribed Rehabilitation After Surgical Treatment of Knee Injuries in Pediatric Patients.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundRehabilitation is an important component of care in postsurgical knee patients, especially as it pertains to return to preinjury activity level. Despite the established significance of rehabilitation in improving outcomes after certain surgical procedures, there is a lack of investigation into compliance rates and factors that affect compliance in pediatric patients. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study was to evaluate sociodemographic factors associated with noncompliance in pediatric patients after knee surgery to characterize health disparities in this population. Our hypothesis was that certain sociodemographic factors would be associated with decreased compliance. STUDY
designCross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
methodsA retrospective review of medical records was used to gather data on compliance rate, demographics, and socioeconomic factors for pediatric patients undergoing rehabilitation after knee surgery. Compliance rate was determined by counting the total scheduled appointments, cancellations, and no-shows (defined as visits for which patients did not show up and did not provide notification of cancellation). Various types of knee injuries were included in this study. Data were evaluated using bivariate analyses in addition to hierarchical linear and binary logistic regression to assess for associations between sociodemographic factors and compliance rate.
resultsOur total sample size was 186 patients. When compared with patients from non-single-parent households, patients from single-parent households were found to have a lower rate of physical therapy compliance (72.2% vs 80.1%;
conclusionOverall, there were several significant demographic and socioeconomic variables associated with rehabilitation compliance, specifically single-parent status, distance to rehabilitation clinic, and ethnicity. These results suggest potential predictors of decreased compliance that warrant prospective investigation.
