Developing priority criteria for hip and knee replacement: results from the Western Canada Waiting List Project.
Article in Canadian journal of surgery. Journal canadien de chirurgie, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
introductionThe Western Canada Waiting List Project (WCWL), a federally funded partnership of 19 organizations, was created to develop tools for managing waiting lists. The WCWL panel on hip and knee replacement surgery was 1 of 5 panels constituted under this project.
methodsThe panel developed and tested a collection of standardized clinical criteria for setting priorities among patients awaiting hip and knee replacement. The criteria were applied to 405 patients in 4 provinces. Regression analysis was used to determine the set of criteria weights that collectively best predicted clinicians' overall urgency ratings. Inter-rater and test-retest reliability was assessed from 6 videotaped patient interviews, scored by orthopedic surgeons, related professionals and general practitioners.
resultsThe priority criteria accounted for over two-thirds of the observed variance in overall urgency ratings (adjusted R2 = 0.676). The panel modified the criteria and weights based on the empirical findings and on clinical judgement. The reliability of the priority criteria for the hip and knee replacement tool was among the strongest of the 5 instruments developed in the WCWL project.
conclusionsThe panel considered the criteria easy to use and reasonably reflective of expert surgical judgement regarding clinical urgency for hip and knee replacement. Further development and testing of the tool appears warranted.
