Specificity of the Oxford knee status questionnaire. The effect of disease of the hip or lumbar spine on patients' perception of knee disability.
Article in The Journal of bone and joint surgery. British volume, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
There is a need for the accurate measurement of the outcome after knee surgery. The Oxford Knee Score is being increasingly used since it is reported to be short, simple, inexpensive and validated. We sent the questionnaire to 346 patients awaiting surgery to the hip or lumbar spine. Only 11% of 141 patients with proximal pathology who denied knee problems gave a maximum score. Their mean score was substantially lower than expected at 28.7 (maximum 48), and was significantly lower than the score of 36.5 obtained from patients after total knee replacement. We therefore suggest that the frequent coexistence of hip or spinal pathology will significantly alter both the absolute score and any improvement to be expected after knee surgery. Although sensitive to disability originating from the knee the Oxford Knee Score is not sufficiently specific since it is heavily influenced by more proximal pathology.
