[A novel questionnaire to assess activity in patients after hip arthroplasties].
Trial report in Der Orthopade, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundUntil now, the activity of the lower limb could only be exactly measured with expensive electronic pedometers. The aim of this study was to develop a feasible questionnaire to measure the activity of patients after arthroplasty.
methodsThe "Daily Activity Questionnaire" (DAQ) was developed in several steps and the evaluation was carried out in three groups of patients with osteoarthritis of the hip (160 patients and 855 investigated days). The psychometric characteristics were verified.
resultsThe retest reliability (ICC) of the DAQ is in a range comparable to the electronic pedometer StepWatch. The testing of the criterion validity showed high correlations between the StepWatch and the DAQ (r=0.743).
conclusionBecause of its high correlations to the load changes actually performed, the DAQ is especially suited to answer arthroplasty-related questions. In all patient groups, projected load changes between 1.8 and 2.4 million per year were found, which by far exceed the generally accepted test standards for endoprostheses.
