Guided and motor imagery for pain management and functional recovery after arthroplasty of the hip or knee: A pragmatic prospective mixed-methods study.

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: Athroplastic surgery often results in acute post-operative pain, hindering rehabilitation compliance. To improve pain management and functional recovery, guided and motor imagery (GMI) exercises were introduced in hip and knee arthroplasty. Methods: A pragmatic prospective mixed-methods implementation evaluation was conducted at the orthopaedic department of Schakelring, the Netherlands. 80 subjects underwent a 4-week rehabilitation program including GMI after knee or hip arthroplasty. Outcomes included self-reported pain, Timed Up & Go test, 10-meter walk test, and medication use compared with a historical control group. A process evaluation was based on 6 meeting reports, a focus group and 8 interviews. Results: Last measured pain scores were significantly lower in the GMI group compared to control ( Conclusions: Monitoring and evaluating the implementation process and positive clinical results facilitated the implementation of GMI in the rehabilitation setting in the Netherlands.
