1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe impact of interventions based on a biopsychosocial (BPS) model, including components related to sleep and nutrition, on pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to develop patient education (PE) based on the BPS model and to clarify its effects on pain after TKA.

methodsParticipants were 121 patients who had undergone unilateral TKA for knee osteoarthritis. Patients who received usual physiotherapy (control group, n = 71) or usual physiotherapy plus PE (PE group, n = 50) were identified. The primary outcome was the change in Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) pain score from baseline to three months post-TKA.

resultsAfter propensity score matching, there was no statistically significant difference in the change in KOOS pain scores between the control groups and PE (

conclusionsA BPS model-based PE was developed, and its effects on pain and pain-related risk factors were clarified. PE may improve central sensitization, sleep disturbance, and pain catastrophizing, which are key pain-related risk factors.
